Twelve year old girls can be SO MEAN!!

Anna is having some "friend" or not friend issues.
Cannot fight the battles, or take away the hurt
I really would like to go and say something not nice to these ladies.
NOT looking forward to the first heartbreak.

this morning we were really late for church. getting used to 9am church after 4 years of 1pm church is hard and I really just want to sleep in.
when a primary child turns the magic age of 12 in this ward something really special happens. If you are a boy going into Priesthood, all the little guys and bishopric come in and sing a cute song they made up just for that boy. They are always hilarious.
If you are a young lady, all the young women and leaders come into the Primary Room, sing a cute song, give the girl a tiara, a bag, and sash that reads "Queen Bee".
There have been many of these little ceremonies as of late...lots of little girls moved up in Nov, a few more in January, and only one was left to be with about 50 boys in sharing time. Today was the day she has so longed for...not me though. When I saw all the little young women come in today for my daughter, my baby girl, immediately the water works. I did manage to get lots of pictures, bc Anna could not run away from this. (of course I will add these later!)
where does the time go?! how could this be? We have our mom-daughter issues, she wants to grow up, I want her to stay little. In all her tween moments, she is a fine example to me. She works hard, is conscientious, strives to do good, a big helper, smart, very talented, becoming beautiful young lady, has a wonderful testimony that I pray she never looses. I love my Anna.
