It feels weird to say but it's true Hallie is 12!!! She is so fun and one of the pluses of kids getting older is they also become your friend. Hallie is very intuitive and notices when something is wrong. Although I wish she liked to shop more she'd prefer to be reading a book. She has grown up a ton and is liking young women's. The drama has been very minimal which has been nice. I want her time find and have good friends its so important but also so hard to find good friends...especially as a girl. She still spends the majority of her time with Paige but branches out every so often. She is doing very well as school and has rebounded nicely after quarantining. She is great at the piano although she hates to practice. We still wont let her have a phone do to some situations we have had with her and her chrome book(hiding it and playing/reading on it during the night instead of sleeping). I hope she figures out sooner than later that we can be her biggest help and ally if she will allow us to. I know I didn't figure that out very quickly and I don't want that for her. She is becoming more responsible in some ways. We have been leaving her home to babysit occasionally while we go out. She also has done a little bit more cooking and baking than she used to. She still loves soccer and is looking forward to indoor this fall. She still loves all things books and reading. She is such a great part of this family and we love her lots.
We were still quarantining for her birthday but Paige was so sweet and brought her over a little cake and present.
We did tacos for dinner and Caesar salad for dinner
This is my attempt to make a soccer ball funfetti cake. Its funny none of our kids really love cake but some of them still request it for their birthday which is totally ok with me but interesting all the same.
She got this sweatshirt and wears it pretty much anytime its clean.
Happy birthday beautiful girl
