Yesterday Maggie turned 11! I think she is officially in pre-teen mode b/c I had NO CLUE what to get her for her birthday. She still likes Barbie but doesn't really need anything along that line. She has an Ipod shuffle, so I got her a gift card for that. And some clothes for summer. And two American Girl books.

She's having a sleepover party in a couple of weeks so I got her two movies (Aquamaraine and Hotel for Dogs). This is a treat b/c we don't really buy movies. I also got her the game Clue so they could play that as well.

So the gift that she was shocked and surprised by:




NO, NOT A CELL PHONE!.........




a Karaoke machine!

It's the gift that keeps on giving. Really.
Bonus: my kids think I sing well :)
