Alexis is 11!!

My eldest is 11.  ELEVEN!! 

I think her favorite gift was this fleece jacket made by her Grandma Beckstead.  She looked adorable in it as she set out for a day of celebration!

(As usual) she wanted Alfredo bowtie pasta at Carrino's for her b-day dinner.

We finished up the night at U-Swirl and the opening of her gifts!!  She was pretty pleased with her new bike!
