Happy 11th, Natalie Ann!

How on earth is our girl 11?!? Weren't we just cutting teeth? Now she's almost finished losing them! She's as lovely inside and out as we could have ever hoped she'd be as she transitions from kid to tween and finishes up her last year in elementary school. Yikes.

This year she wanted a SPA party. She and her friends made peppermint sugar scrubs and decorated flip flops perfect for pedicuring. After a "breadboard dinner" they all got in the hot tub which Natalie was allowed to add a scent to for the evening. After much deliberation at the pool/spa supply shop she chose Heavenly Honeysuckle!

 Then they ended the evening with a chocolate fondue dessert and opening gifts. One of her long time friends (they met in kindergarten) made her a HUGE cuddly stuffed hedgehog and the three of them shared Natalie's bed that night for a sleepover. The girls giggled and giggled and had a great time. She has truly lovely friends!

 Meet "Hedgehugs" He's about the size of Audrey.

These two "jammed" in bed before going

to sleep, Natalie on the ukelele and Syd on the guitar.

Coolest. Girls.Ever.
