Recognition Night

When Hailey turned 12 and joined Young Women's she made a goal to complete the entire Personal Progress Program before she turned 13. I have never seen her go after a goal like she did this one and 3 days before she turned 13 she accomplished this goal. That was back in May and on 12-12-12 along with 12 other Young Women from our ward she received her Young Womanhood Medallion. It was an awesome night where she was asked to speak about this accomplishment and I got to talk about her for a couple minutes which I was happy to do. 
These little girls are such a big part of Hailey's life that we were very happy they could be here this night...even though they probably would've been anyway since they are the BISHOP's cute kids. :)
 I know this picture is blurry but we had to get little Lulu in here. :)
 Fancy dessert table!
 Table decorated with some of the things that represent Hailey including the book of faith promoting stories she gathered from friends & family for one of her projects, piano music, swim meet ribbons, basketball and volleyball medals, triathlon medal & basketball shoes.
 11 of the 12 girls that also received their medallions that night...the 12th girl left before we could get a picture.
 Very cool that these two friends could receive their medallions together after we almost lost Janelle to a car accident last year!
 ...silly girls.
 The four of us received our medallions as parents/leaders on the same night which was very cool.
 ...and we can be silly too! :)
Very proud of Hailey and this big accomplishment in her life. Next step is working on her Honor Bee which she has already started.
