Happy 12th Birthday Erin

Erin's birthday started out a little rough this morning. She asked us to take her to the Gila Valley Temple for her birthday. This morning the van wouldn't start. We had to wait for the store to open and install a new battery before we could take off. Then while waiting to go, Erin made herself some monkey bread. She forgot the pan handle had been in the oven and when she grabbed it, she burned her hand really badly. After getting a blessing and fixing the van, we convinced her that she would probably feel better as we drove. She was fighting back tears all morning. But fortunately, she felt well enough to do baptisms.

We made a quick stop at Taco Bell and the LDS bookstore. She got a new CTR ring and a Jenny Oaks Baker CD. Then we made it back just in time to get the boys from school.

For dinner she chose turkey burgers with cheese fries. Mario made her an ice cream cake. Now, Erin is off to Mutual for her first official night.

Her gifts included Harry Potter piano music, Mickey Mouse t-shirt, ring, and CD. She got a frisbee from Nathan and $1 from Zachary.
