Happy Birthday Anna

Anna is now eleven!

On her real birthday we celebrated with a shopping extravaganza (so she could pick out her gifts - see below) and cupcakes.   (Matthew was at work.)   One of her buddies was out of town, so we had to postpone her "friend" party.

Finally last week we were able to celebrate with her 2 best buddies.  We went to Sky-Zone trampoline park.

There was much jewelry making

Then we had a bonfire and slumber party!

Joel joined up at the trampoline park, which was only fair as Anna went with him when he had friend's join him at Sky Zone a few years ago.

A fun time was had by all!  (even Matthew and Carolyn, who had friends over for the bonfire too!)

Carolyn's Confirmation and Musical

 My sister Mary was Carolyn's Confirmation sponsor

 Aunt Mary even transported my folks from Burlington.  (She was going to grab Matthew too, but he had a commitment and couldn't come in the end.)

 Anna was an Altar Server for the big event.

 During Confirmation Carolyn missed one night of her Spring Musical:  The Brain from Planet X.  (2 other kids were in the same boat.)  Nonetheless it was a great show.  We got to see the dress rehearsal (where pictures were allowed!!) as well as the other 2 performances.  Carolyn in yellow above and red below! 

Ok- I know you were dying to see the Brain:
