Ashley’s 11th Birthday
Ashley is the TWEEN QUEEN! She turned 11 recently and celebrated with the family and her best friend, Tessa.
Ashley and her friend are on opposite "teams" in the Twilight war...Ashley is on "Team Jacob" (Werewolves) and her friend Tessa is on "Team Edward" (Vampires)...and if you know what that means...I'm sorry :-). So, her friend Tessa gave her this t-shirt for her birthday.
Ashley isn't even allowed to see PG-13 movies yet and hasn't read the book...but she still thinks Jacob is cute....oh, boy...we're coming up on one more teenager in the house...
Tessa also gave her this "Were" - wolf jacket.
Ashley and her best bud Tessa...aka "Hippie."
Donovan, Ashley and Tessa during the present opening...
...Frank, Liz, Megan and PJ...
Donovan gave Ashley a poster of "Jacob."
After our tradition of pizza, presents, cake and ice cream...Frank and I headed off to the mall with Ashley and Tessa.
Our main destination was "Build-a-Bear." Here they are getting ready to have their bears stuffed.
...and then the bears get a little bath...
The BEFORE bears (notice the t-shirts)...
And the AFTER bears...
Our last stop was in the food court to get a smoothie....I think the girls had a lot of fun.
Here is a VIDEO of the girls at Build-a-Bear:

Wow! The recent family picture took me a moment to remember who everyone was! 3 years and everyone looks very different, except for Cody, Bishop and Sister Nolden. Nauvoo was some good times! I have more photo’s of it on Facebook. You can find me through Marika.
