The Big One Two

Tess is officially a pre-teen. 12!! She has been very excited about this birthday. She wanted to do 7 Eleven slurpee's with the Bastian's and go swimming. She used her own money to buy a YW necklace for Audrey who shares the same birthday. I bought her the same necklace. Jacob decided to give Tess the remote control plane that Uncle Herald gave him. For breakfast she chose donuts, dinner was grilled chicken kabobs, and she wanted a mandarin orange/pineapple cake I've made in the past for her birthday cake. We had a fun day.
Sunday she was invited up to the stand by her Dad and given her certificate of advancement and Faith in God award. Dan then told the congregation that Tess had chosen the 14th Article of Faith to recite. She did a great job saying the 6th. Then after Sunday School Audrey Bastian with some other girls walked her to Young Womens. Tess has already created a personal progress account online and completed the first two requirements for Faith. She's on fire and totally excited to be in Young Womens. I'm excited for our trip in October to UTAH for the General Women's Meeting!!!
