Cora turned 12 Saturday, and she was very excited to celebrate with her favorite friends at MB2 Raceway in Sylmar. Charlie, Jake, little Violet, big Violet and Vivian were the racers who joined Cora on the track.
Zoom! The kids participated in two races, which were about nine laps each. Cora had wanted to celebrate at MB2 for years, but this was the year, because Violet has now reached that magical 48-inch mark.
The head socks made the kids look medieval. So silly.
The racer's fastest single lap is what earns his or her placement on the leaderboard. For the second race, Vivian topped the chart. followed by Jake, Char, Cora and the Violets.
Char did so much better than in his first race, when he had the slowest times because he was more concerned with keeping his brother pinned in behind him than driving fast. (In that first race, Cora had the fastest lap time among her friends.)
She's strong, smart, sporty and, increasingly, stunning.
She was recently elected to be president of the student council.
She loves reading, history, video games, her cats, her family and her friends.
She'd much prefer a couple of close people she can trust than a big group of friends.
She's excited for junior high, but nervous as well.
She keeps us on our toes every day, and yet Stace and I can't imagine life without our Cora Rose. We are so proud of you!
When Elaine left with the girls, we then watched the first Pirates movie to cap off the birthday. Grandma and Grandpa came over, too, after helping Melanie out with a huge wedding.
Happy Birthday, Cora!
