Happy 8th Birthday, Kate

I found this post as a draft from 2012. Posting now to preserve the memory of Kate's 8th birthday at the American Girl store in NOVA.

Garrison's 15th Birthday

Garrison's 15th birthday was March 9, 2012.  We were on spring break then visiting family in Mobile, AL.  Grandpa and Mimi told Garrison he could go anywhere he wanted for his birthday dinner so he chose Felix's Fish Camp.  Uncle Mitch and Aunt Georgia and Mary-Mitchell met us there to celebrate. 

Afterwards, we went back to Grandpa and Mimi's house and had birthday cake from Pollman's.

At 15, Garrison is on the Headmaster's list at school, plays jv baseball and travel baseball, basketball, and soccer, is a saxophone player in the school band, went to the College of William and Mary to participate in Model UN, is on the judiciary council at school, and is an all-around awesome son.  We love you Garrison! 

Brennan's 13th Birthday

On November 22, 2011, Brennan became a teenager!  For her 13th birthday, she chose to have a party at the local ice skating rink. 

She chose pink, green, and zebra for decorations. Check out that zebra cake. It was from Sugarplum Bakery and it was fantastic!

All her friends went home with monogrammed zebra coffee travel mugs.
Little sis liked the cake.
This is what Brennan found over her door on the morning of her birthday.

At the age of 13, Brennan remains a straight A student, viola player, field hockey player, softball player, forensics champ, All-City Orchestra participant, actress (Phantom Tollbooth, Hairspray), loyal friend, excellent cook and baker, babysitter, fashionista, and amazing daughter. Happy birthday Brennan! We love you!
