Karinda had many celebrations for her birthday this year. Up North with grandpa and grandma Meeuwsen before they left for Florida, at home with Sadie, and with Carter and Trey in April.
The long awaited celebration was her friend party. We decided to go to the Holiday Inn Express for the night with some friends. She choose, Sheldon, Merideth, Emma, Elle, and Bella came later. We had some fun in the pool, pizza, presents, and some fun "spa time" for the girls. Our little planner thought about all the details of this for months, and me being a planner as well, it tended to cause a bit of frustration.
Karinda you are a great girl, you love to read and have a gift for playing the piano. You love to spin and dance around the room. We have had some growing pains with friends this year, but unfortunately it is part of life. You are a great student and we couldn't be more proud of you.
