JANESSA TURNS 8 12/28/2009

Janessa wanted to go to Gerties on her birthday! So we met a few friends there. Janessa driving and Mia being a crazy passenger.

Her friend Wyatt in the back!
Janessa taking our picture at Gerties! We waited for a longtime for pizza but the kids did not notice as they just kept playing. Mia waiting for pizza.

Ken played take Janessa's nose and we passed it around as quietly as we could as we waited!

Mia, Janessa, and I made cupcakes in the number 8 for Janessa. We had a blast!

You are a wonderful daughter and person. I am so proud of the person you are becoming.
