Twelve for One

Last month we celebrated Kenrick's 12th. T-minus one to Teen. Wow.

His birthday was on a Thursday, so he had a few friends over after school for some pizza and cupcakes.

Then later in the week, he got the cake (and candles) he really wanted. It's hard to blow out candles when you've got the giggles.

The big present this year was a mountain bike. One big enough to grow into. We picked it up at the REI in Chicago while we were up there last weekend, I don't think he's stopped grinning since. His feet do touch the ground, but just barely.
