My only daughter is twelve years old! She's been very excited to hit this milestone, to enter Young Women, and start babysitting. Carly loves the idea of speaking French and living in Paris -- thus the cake theme. She also received a huge print of the Eiffel Tower to hang on her bedroom wall.
It was great to have the family over for a birthday dinner of spaghetti, french bread and salad.

Carly has matured so much since her last birthday, and I've enjoyed seeing her grow and change. I'm so proud at the young woman she's becoming -- honest, joyful, talented, caring and helpful. I can imagine what kind of girlfriend, wife and mother she will be. It's my joy and sadness as she continues to grow away from being my daughter into what she will become! I miss her already.
Happy Birthday Carly!
