Whitney turns 12!!!

It's hard to believe but Whitney turned 12 years old on October 27, 2008!! I'm not sure where the time went but I do know that it has gone by too fast. I keep begging my kids to stop growing and stay just as they are but for some reason they don't listen to me. Whitney celebrated her birthday a couple of times over the course of a week. We started off the celebration at her favorite restaurant, Longhorn Steak House, with her favorite meal - steak. She had her aunts, uncles, and cousins from Georgia and her best friend from school, Brooke, there to help celebrate.
From L - R we have: Emily Price, Whitney, Hailey, Brooke Harrison, and Jordan Price. The only girl we are missing is Sydney in this picture. Whitney loves her cousins and they love her.
After we all stuffed ourselves we had Amber take our family picture outside Longhorn. It was the perfect birthday meal.
The celebration continued 2 days later with a family party on Whitney's actual birthday. For her birthday dinner she requested steak (of course), wild rice, and fruit. Dad, once again, did a good job of grilling the steaks. She also wanted a birthday cookie with frosting on top. It was another great time with family celebrating the day Whitney was born.
We had to celebrate Whitney's birthday one more time with our traditional family first Sunday of the month dinner at Stephen and Amber's house. Aunt Amber made a delicious meal for everyone and Uncle Stephen made a soccer ball cake complete with candles to blow out. The Prices gave Whitney some cute jewelry that she wore to school on Monday and the Snows gave her a small soccer ball and special wrap for soccer. Whitney is so lucky to be surrounded by so many aunts, uncles, and cousins who love her.
