Maggie Turns 12!

Our baby girl is 12!  She's a super smart cookie with a huge passion for reading!  She's playing basketball and soccer, helping out with costume design for her school's play, taking guitar lessons, and continues to be the biggest Swifty we know.  We adore our girl!

Happy Birthday, Maggie!

For her birthday, she and I did a manicure the weekend beforehand.  She had school on her actual birthday, and got to walk to Starbucks and the Library afterward with a bunch of friends (her favorite after-school activity).  Then we served her favorite foods for dinner: pierogies and Caesar salad, with pumpkin pie for dessert!


The grandparents joined us to celebrate our girl

We hosted a bunch of friends for a birthday party the following weekend, with an epic Harry Potter themed shindig.  We divided the party into four teams: Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw and Slytherin to compete for the House Cup.  We made wands, played a bunch of games and ate a lot of junk food!

This girl has some wonderful friends

Jamie in teacher mode - teaching about hot glue gun safety
and secrets of making a sweet wand

Hard at work


Memory game - testing how many items
they can remember from the tray of random things!

Quidditch pong!

Toilet paper racing - seeing who can roll their full
glass of water to them first without spilling
and tearing the paper!

Team Hufflepuff was the winner!  Cheers-ing with their
baby house cups
