botannical gardens

to finish off the birthday weekend, we strolled through the gardens on sunday.

birthday party number 12

happy 12th birthday!

she has already received presents. i gave her ours this morning since there will be a dozen or so kids kids around after school for the party. we gave her clothes, about four outfits, some little stuff, a DS game, and an ipod, already stocked. as you can see, she was surprised.

on saturday we enjoyed the first cookout of the summer

dramatic effect

eric sent some 'happy easter' flowers. these tulips are beautiful, though not after i got to them in this picture. i managed a dark effect, and the flowers look silk.

lookout, tomorrow will bring peeps. i think i have three different animal shapes.
