Happy 12th Birthday Halle Caroline!

Halle Caroline went to church camp today on her 12th birthday... so we were forced to start celebrating with her a little early!  On Saturday, Ellison and I took her to a few of her favorite stores.  We had to pick up a few items for her camp as well.  Of course we had to stop in here to see all the new beautiful patterns. The girls are a little obsessed with Vera lately...

And then... I forgot to take any more pictures until after dinner! ha!

So here is the dessert that she chose :)

In between those pictures... we shopped, saw the cute Selena Gomez (I heart her!) movie, met dad for dinner, and then went for dessert.  It was a super fun day!

We then came home to meet her one of her bff's for a little spend the night fun!

Such silly girls!

She requested waffles for breakfast

 And why does Miss Chandler have on an Ordianary Hero shirt??? oh - that's because SHE LOVES AFRICA TOO! :) So much fun to have awesome things in common!

Just before church

 Birthday lunch that she requested

 And I think this is the reason that she chose Chili's!

 My 3 babes

oh! and did you notice the haircut??!!

 the 2 "besties" as they call themselves

 Let me give you a word of advice... never let a person shorter than you take your picture!!! It is not becoming at all.... and it might add about 50 pounds to your body, even if you do crop the heck out of it!

And this is the most perfect picture EVER of them... this is these 2 about 99.9% of the time! They are so silly!

We had a carload of kids that we took to camp.  These kiddos have all grown up together since birth.  So fun! I might just have to dig out a pic of Anderson (far left) and Halle Caroline as babies.  They used to spend a lot of time together!

OH WAIT! Pardon me while I go back in time.... here are some pics of Anderson and Halle Caroline that we took for a birthday invitation for a party that they had together.  I think they were 3!

 oh that stacked bob! sooooo cute!!!

And I've seen the saying lately, "the bigger the bow, the better the momma!"  Let's just say.... I must have been a really good momma... judging by the size of my girls' bows!

okay - stroll down memory lane over. y'all - they grown up SO FAST!

Back to my blog post...

And when Halle Caroline got to camp some sweet sweet friends had tied a birthday balloon to her bunk. So precious!

And then somehow ;)... we picked up an extra kid at camp to bring home with us!  Love that Ellison is getting to spend some time with her buddy Tatum! We had to take a swing by the snow cone stand... you know, fulfilling our summer bucket list!

Happy Birthday Halle Caroline!!! We had a fun weekend with you! We love you and think you're AWESOMENESS ROCKS!
