Sorry I missed this yesterday, but I was off baking Christmas cookies.

Happy belated birthday, Athena.

Another happy belated, Athena – this is what I get for not being an internet addict and checking compulsively every day.

Also, Mr. S -

a) This means I’ve been reading your blog for more than half your kid’s life, because I seem to recall a post declaring Athena’s 5th birthday; and

b) Damn but she looks like her mom. :-)

Happy belated happy, Athena. I hope you soak up all you can while being a tween.

I was visiting my mother on her 68th birthday yesterday, but I hope you had a happy birthday, Athena!

Happy Birthday, Athena.

Isn’t it annoying having a birthday so close to Xmas? Mine is the 24th (today).

Enjoy being 11. It’s a fun age.

Happy Birthday Athena! Being 11 is the best job in the world!

John and Krissy: Hang on tight. From what I hear, the ride gets pretty wild from here. ;-)

Many happy returns, Athena. You share a birthday with my mother, who turned 3/4 of a century old. Yowza–talk about serious! ;-)

Happy Birthday, Athena. My granddaughter Kahlan (yea, that Kahlan) is 11 too.

Hope Athena has a Happy, Happy Day!

It has been a joy watching her grow up on the pages of your blog. She is an amazing child… you have every reason to be proud of her!
