Happy 13th Birthday!

I have a teenager! :0

We had Allia's party Friday night. She wanted a low-key late-over. So we started out at U-Paint It with a few friends. Then we went back home for breakfast for dinner, cookie cake and a private movie and popcorn (the younger ones stayed upstairs). So her friends got to stay late but not so late that Austin and I were too tired the next day! It worked out great, and she really enjoyed it.

We went to the vigil mass yesterday and then were treated to a meal out by Pawpaw and Manah in honor of her birthday. Then we were able to enjoy a little time at home this morning before the start of RE classes. Austin and Stephen went on a run and picked up doughnuts on the way home. She had lots of little family gifts to open. (Her big gift from us was the room makeover while she was at camp in June!).

We had a family birthday dinner at home to round out the day. What a nice day to celebrate our teen!
