Julia turns 11 on October 11!

Julia! You are 11! And you are amazing! You at 11: Taylor Swift Super Fan, fashionable (preppy), skin care enthusiast, super silly, super shopper, super friend, driven, super intelligent, unafraid, and super... you! In other words....you're the man! In other words...when you walk in a room you can make the whole place shimmer!

You have taken up swim team, voice lessons with Miss Bonnie, you love still doing musicals, you're interested in cheer, you're verrrry interested in all things Taylor, you're an avid reader (Traveling Pants series, Are You There God It's Me Margaret?, Goldfish, and similar coming-of-age novels) and you're evolving before our eyes!

It feels just like yesterday, you were this little nugget..

And now you are this amazing young lady!! FEARLESS!

You spent your actual birthday with us in New Orleans, in the rain, enjoying the insectarium and aquarium and shopping and eating oysters. Then you had a TS movie party with friends, and then a spa-day party at our house!
