Erica's 13th Birthday

We let Erica decide when she wanted to open her presents.  Can you guess when that happened?  YEP!  Right after she got up and BEFORE breakfast!!  LOL!!  There was no way we could hold her off the whole day.  It would be more torturous for us!  She received lots of wonderful gifts.  We bought the first lime green ipod for her and she received a flat iron that she wanted and loves, a book, a walrus webkin and lots of money!  She also received her first musical card and well, the home video of that is pretty funny!!  

I also gave her an album with all the letters and words of encouragement she received from family and friends.  She LOVED it and spent some time in the afternoon reading each letter.  I think this will be something she will cherish for life!!!  Thank you to all who took the time to send your thoughts, prayers and encouragement!!
