12

 Over the weekend, we got together to celebrate Dara, our middle granddaughter's 12th birthday!


Dara's sister Jazz.



Presents included a journaling kit..


and a hand-stamping metal jewelry kit.


Here we all are after the gift giving and cake.


Age does not diminish the extreme disappointment of having a scoop of ice cream fall from the cone.

Happy Birthday Dara! I hope she had a special day doing all the things she loves. I really like Jazz' blouse. One of my favorite colors to wear in Summer. She will have fun with the journal kit.
