Dear Sophia,

I hope you had a wonderful day yesterday.  I enjoyed spending time with you celebrating your twelfth birthday.  Your Dad and I are very proud of you and so glad you came into our lives twelve years ago.

Here is a quick recap of your big day:

Morning – A little quality time with Daphne.  A bowl of sugary cereal that I only allow you to eat once or twice a year.  A visit from your Aunt Dee Dee and a phone call from Nana and Papa.

Afternoon – A quick lunch at home with Dad, a trip to the mall with your BFF, opening presents and a few karaoke songs with Dad using one of your new gifts.

Evening – Dinner at a restaurant.  Appetizer – cheese curds.  Entree – grilled salmon. Free birthday dessert – a huge sundae (to-go).   Birthday cake and singing at home.  We even enjoyed Sebastian’s baseball game via Game Changer.  We weren’t there in person, but could see live updates via an app.  He helped his team to a victory with his pitching and hitting in honor of your birthday.

Season Opener

Sebastian’s first game of the season was last night.  It was a perfect night for baseball. Warm temps, sunshine and a great match up.  Sebastian did an awesome job at first base with flawless play including the great catch of a foul ball for an out. He also stole a couple of bases that put him in position to score a run. We are excited for the season as this will be his last with Little League.

Making The Play
Out!

Along with his baseball skills, Sebastian has a 4.0 GPA and perfect attendance at school this year and impresses us with his eye for photography.  A couple of his shots are below.

The Process

Sophia is a pro at decorating.  Perhaps Cupcake Wars is in her future?

I hope they taste as good as they look.
