HaPPy BiRthDaY to You!

Welcome to the teen years my beautiful daughter.

Birthdays have several fun aspects to them in our family.  One of them is dinner out and the birthday girl (or boy) gets to pick the place.  I was sure we were going to HuHot this year for Emma, at the last minute she switched to Red Robin, still a good choice.  A highlight for Emma was ordering off the adult menu AND ordering a drink.  Here she is with her "Freckled Lemonade".

the fam with the teenager

Our server was a great guy.  Before embarrassing Emma with the Red Robin birthday song he asked her if she wanted the attention.  HELLO!!!  Middles school who loves attention was happy to put the balloons behind her ears just to get a free dessert.

We have been in our current house for 3 1/2 years and the girls are all starting to ask for bedroom makeovers.  We don't need to repaint but we are changing Emma's new room into a Paris themed room.

Aw, money!!
 
Olivia knows the importance of giving.  She found a book in the house and wrapped it up for her sister's birthday.  Judy Moody is something Emma read about 4 years ago but she still thanked Liv and gave her a big hug.  It made Liv's day.  What a great big sister!
