As you can see from the previous post, our day started off very

cold, but we were eventually able to venture out. Katie's "meal out" was at Bennett's BBQ and she enjoyed a plate of Baby Back Ribs with her friend Megan.

Our next stop was the Mall, where Katie and Megan designed and built thier own stuffed animals. Katie chose a Husky and named him "Jack".

When we asked Katie what she wanted for her birthday, she said.......
#1 Ninetindo Game Cube
#2 Rachel Ray Cook Book
Oh boy.....proud daddy, I am. I know she will be a great cook!!!

Here is the cake and our 12 year old!
