11 of our 12 donuts because Caris had waited long enough
They went down the slide together. Again and again and again.
Caris said, "I'm done playing soccer with y'all. I'm pretty sure you cheat."
We talked with Pops a lot. 
...Sir PopsAlot...just thinking out loud here
Gigi organized the party and it was a big hit 
Caris learned to not eat wax candles
