8th Birthday

Kerstin turned 8 on Thursday. She woke up to the traditional birthday donut. Her Dad brought her lunch from Long John Silvers to school. Then she chose Valentino's buffet for supper. In addition to a few presents, Kerstin and her sister are having a joint skating party in a couple weeks.

Dance Marathon

Kerstin and her family were recently invited to attend a dance marathon at UNL put on by the students every year to raise money for Children's Hospital in Omaha. The marathon lasted from 8 pm till 8 am. Kerstin and her sister thought they would be able to stay up all night, but fortunately there was a quiet room for them to catch a few hours of sleep. The dancers raised $30,000 for the hospital.
