Jaki - 13th Birthday

August 23, 2008

Jaki started off her Birthday by making a key lime pie with
U. Tommy & A. Lori. Colin and Rana got to help also.

Then it was time for the party. We kicked things off at 4 and didn't end until 9:30 or so. We had lots of fun with family and good friends. There was hamburgers and hot dogs for dinner, along with some grilled catfish that the kids had caught the weekend before. A. She-Shan had also made some macaroni salad for Bryan for his birthday (which was Friday the 22nd), so we shared that with those who had some catfish. Jaki had several friends from school come to her party. They swam in the pool even when we had some light rain, which I think they enjoyed that even more.

After hauling everyone out of the pool for food, we did presents and cake.

Then of course the kids were back into the pool. What an awesome day.
Jaki loved that she had both her grandmothers and GG (Great Grandma Helm) at her party. Along with having the rest of the family and her friends that came to help her celebrate becoming an "official" Teenager.
