Our baby is 12! I cannot believe we almost have two teenagers in the house. Alayna is growing into an incredible young lady. She is so bright and gifted in so many ways. Her creativity continues to amaze us. She is teaching herself to play the guitar and her love for different types of music is expanding. After the new year, she will be shifting from piano lessons to guitar lessons. She still has a passion for the piano, but wants to change focus for a little while. She loves drawing and painting. She is a reader, but is very picky about what she reads. She recently started the Hunger Games trilogy. We couldn't be more proud and we could not love her any more than we do.
We celebrated her birthday with a few friends, bowling and then froyo. On the actual day, we had ice cream cake (her request) and went to see the Christmas show at the local Melodrama here in town. It was a quiet celebration of a big event.
Happy Birthday, Alayna!
