and 11 year old and a Cratchit

Happy Birthday Jenna!!! Jenna turned 11 yesterday, and since she had an early birthday party with her friends at the cabin last summer, we got to have a family party last night! She had a pretty great day at school - they got to go roller skating for half the day to celebrate the end of the quarter. Grandma & Papa P. came to visit and we all went to Famous Daves for supper (Jenna's choice). Later, Grandma & Papa S. came over and joined us for birthday cake. By the way, the candles revealed 3 boyfriends. :)
Among the gifts was a much longed for Nintendo DS. Yipee!
Today was the opening performance of Kendall's school play "A Christmas Carol". It was AMAZING! Kendall plays Belinda Cratchit and also has a little part as a "creepy ghost child". I have to somehow get a picture of her in the ghost makeup because it's very, very creepy.

Above is Kendall with the other Cratchits and Ebeneezer Scrooge (in black). It takes about 45 minutes to curl her hair like that. I did it yesterday for dress rehearsal and was grateful to hand her over to the capable hair/makeup crew today.

What a lucky girl to be in the company of two such handsome lads. Although something about the middle one makes me a bit uneasy...can't quite put my finger on it.

Kendall should be finishing up the evening performance right now and then the cast is heading to Applebees. FUN!!!

I'm guessing the play was a roaring success. Kendall looks great. Such an actress...will I be seeing her on the big screen someday.

happy Birthday to Jenna as well. 11??? When did that happen!? Hope she had a wonderful day!
