This beautiful baby girl...........

Is now a beautiful twelve year old.



It's hard to believe twelve years can pass so quickly.

Being a girl, we gave her several purses.

Ben found this to be absolutely ridiculous.

Katie picked out a number of earrings in honor of Emily's newly pierced ears.

I gave her an earring tree to hold all the new bling.

"You gave her a set of tiny shelves?" said Ben when he saw it.

And one of the best gifts of the day:

An all expenses paid, two-week pass to ride in the front seat of the car - from Ben.
