katie's 11th birthday

Katie turned 11 on August 17th and to celebrate, we had a few young ladies over the weekend before to have pizza, swim and then to go see "Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters".  Katie is so full of expression and enthusiasm!  I love that she gets excited about everything.  She was thrilled she blew all of her candles out in one breath and you can tell how she felt about her presents.  On Katie's actual birthday we went and got her ears pierced.  (We attempted that last year for her birthday, but it didn't happen.)  If the gal piercing hadn't been so quick, Katie might actually be walking around with only her right ear pierced as it was....
