Even in the rain!

Well...even in the rain, you can drive the cars at Malibu Raceway. The kids drove 6 laps - 3 of which it rained pretty hard - and then came in to dry off and play games. They had fun slipping and sliding all over the track. We had pizza and soda before Makena's birthday brownie (she doesn't like cake frosting so we had a very chocolaty brownie) and presents. She was very excited to get gift cards and money (she loves to shop), a new (sparkly) shirt, a book & very cute panda book marks. Her friends know how much she likes pandas! Then we were off to play more games.

5 of Makena's closest friends were able to come

I still can't believe that she is going to be 12 years old!! Actually, she has 12 more days before she turns 12! : )

"Why I smiled today" - I had replaced the bandage on Makena's toe last night and wrote a heart and U on the tape. When I went in her room this morning to lay with her for a bit, she was all covered up except for her foot...and the bandage with 'heart U' on it.
