Happy Birthday, Lauren!

June 16, 2009 - Happy 13th Birthday, Lauren!

I can't believe I have a teenage daughter! Where did the time go?

Lauren was helping with VBS the week of her birthday, so Derrick Hartley made sure it was memorable!

Lauren invited several friends over to the house for a party. We had hamburgers and hot dogs and then some cake and ice cream. After Lauren opened her gifts the girls watched Twilight (what else?) in our make-shift movie theatre downstairs in the basement.
