Kate's 12th Birthday
This girl has grown soooo fast! And even though her birthday was in August, we had such a great day and I want to make sure I capture it!!
For lucky number 12, we had one big goal----- to make sure she finally joins the Star Wars Jedi Academy before it's too late!! ;)
So we got her up bright and early to be at Hollywood Studios at park opening so that she could begin her training! Honestly, she was probably more excited that she and Chengbin would be doing it together! This is something they've talked about and dreamed about for years now!
As we entered the park, we saw the First Order marching through, and that made us even more excited for this big day!! Unfortunately, when we got to the sign ups, Chengbin got nervous, freaked out, grumpy, obstinate, and informed us that he no longer wanted to do it. Kate agreed to do it without him, but she was truly heartbroken (which made me heartbroken too for both of them)!
In the end, she summoned up her desire to be a Jedi and pushed through her sadness. ;)
Let's face it. It's hard to train to be a jedi without the joy of it smacking you right in the face!
And when Darth Vader makes his way out to challenge you...
You give him that great big, beautiful smile and ensure that the light side always wins!!
And as he leaves, she gives him the look that says "I'm not afraid of you!"
What a great 12th Birthday!! We love our growing-up-way-too-soon girl!! :)
