Our 1st Young Woman

Happy Birthday Miss BreAnna! February 11, 2012

Look what was inside of that box~ what a fun treat from BreAnna's Activity Day Leaders (they also sent a can of whip cream home with her to top these deligths off with!)  She felt so special. Both Gramma Sharon Conine and Cindy Adams were fabulous leaders, Bre is going to miss all of the fun activities her leaders planned. BreAnna is now TWELVE, our first young woman....what a fun time.  She graduated from primary and had her first New Beginnings for the young womans program last night at church.  She is growing up, oooohhhhh...too fast!

Bre had a slumber b-day party with some of her girl friends to celebrate her 12th b-day this year, I had to cut the invite list to a total of ten- I hate to disclude friends but for a mom's sanity you've got to draw the line some where.  The girls finally crashed around 4:00am, quite the long evening for this group of hyper girls.  They had a good time, the girls did a large range of girlly things because as we all know girls just want to have fun and from the looks of these pics, clearly they had themselves a good time partying the night away.  There was make your own pizza and caesar salads, played pictionary, the gummy bear guessing game, cupcake decorating, presents and ice cream, the white elephant game, make up, facials, and a bit of gymnastics and dancing.  Bre requested Krispy Kreme donuts at school earlier in the day so I'm sure after all of the sweets, these girls were high on sugar.  After some juice, fruit and cinnamon rolls for breakfast everyone was out the door by 9:30 am since Bre and her dance friends had performing group early in the morn.  The fun didn't stop there though, Bre and mom went out shopping so she could use her gift cards she received.  She picked out a cute black pencil skirt, her first real set of high heels and a cute necklace and earings to match.  Grandma Jackson had taken Bre shopping earlier in the week and she had already gotten some cute shirts to go with her Sunday outfit to wear to her first day of YW's the following morning.  We are so happy to have Bre in our family, she is a ball wit and fun energy!  It's fun watching her grow up and mature into a young woman.
