Anneliese is 12 today! Which now, in the pandemic year of our Lord 2021, means the birthday of the vaccine! Yay!
(Allllll these 2009 fall babies -- remember how many there were?? -- were born in the middle of H1N1 swine flu which changed hospital rules and caused a need for extra vax boosters, and now they're the very specific slice of age group that wasn't old enough for vaccines last spring when it came open for teens, and will already have them by the time eligibility opens for younger children later this winter. Life is funny. Time is funny.)
Here's my sweet girl, last week at (almost) 12:
Happy birthday, Anneliese!
At 12, Anneliese is in middle school (and kicking so much ass at it, finding her groove way sooner than we would have guessed), and loves music, baking, daydreaming, taking the city bus with her friends, facetiming, social studies, cookbooks and food magazines, kindle YA rom-com books, riding bikes, skiing (we did a white Christmas in Minnesota last year when our whole lives were remote anyway, might as well be remote in a new/snowy place right?!), swimming, shopping, and spa masks (as well as a good moisturizing routine in general).
At 12, she still doesn't love feeling rushed, feeling criticized, feeling misunderstood, most meat, getting sweaty, being too cold, pie crust, or remembering to take literally anything from the stairs up to her room.
