Maren turns 11 on January 8, 2008! We were all excited to celebrate her birthday, but not as excited as she was! She got a new bike that she is anxious to get outside and ride. When the weather is nice she rides her bike to school every day. She was riding mine from when I was 20 years old (it's a little ancient, but still works), but her dad found her a new bike at a good price when we were shopping on New Year's Day. She got it a little early, and it is resting in our basement until the sun comes out, but she is very excited about it. She picked a supper of homemade pizza and angel food cake for dessert.
