Thirteen

A few photos from Karen's birthday.

We didn't go out because it was a school day, my dad was working, & she had a basketball game.

My mom cooked, I got balloons, Binh baked, & Belle went crazy with the balloons...

13

Binh went a little crazy with the cake..heheh

Blue icing, chocolate chips, fruit topping....what's not to like right?!?

13 candles plus 1 for good luck.

Unlike Binh's birthday, we lit the candles just in time for her when she came home from her basketball game!

Half the cake was blue too.

Karen loves Cookie Monster...so I assumed blue was her favorite color. So that's why we had a lot of blue going on. When she came home, I asked her what her favorite color is...& she said red. HA!

Belle enjoyed the balloons more now, instead of her own balloons at her 1st birthday party!

Happy Birthday Karen!

Today my sister is officially a TEEN!

What?! 13??

This is my favorite pic of Karen...

Cause she kept that cute bun I put on her hair.

She doesn't like buns on her hair.

I remember babysitting her when she was just as little as Belle. WEIRD.

And now..it's her that takes care of Belle..The first time she held Belle.

Belle loves loves Tita Karen. She claps & cheers when Karen comes home from school.

Thanks Karen, for always helping me out with Belle all the time.

& thank you for all that you do for her :D

Aris says he wants Belle to grow up like Tita Karen, cause she's smart, super athletic, & she randomly bakes for her friends at school. He wants Belle to do the same!

Karen is a kick ass tennis player too!

Everyone has high hopes for her to make it big. Even me.

Karen, you should become famous as a professional tennis player.

So Aris, Belle, & I can live/maintain your mansion while you travel. OKAY!?

Love ya sissy!!

There's a lot of birthdays coming up these next few months! Don't be surprised when you see plenty of birthday posts :)
