Thirteen

So it has happened. My baby girl is 13!!!!! The big day was yesterday and I woke up with a feeling of incredible happiness. Happiness that I am blessed with such an incredible, loving, thoughtful, fun, creative and energetic daughter. I love her for so many reasons, her laugh, her smile, her sweetness, her ability to drive me nutty sometimes and most of all I love her for everything she is.

Here is how her birthday went down. She had her best friend, Emily, spend the night Friday night. They decided they wanted to go see the new Dr. Seuss movie and go shopping. So after dinner at Pei-Wei we headed out to begin celebrating the big day. After getting our movie tickets we went to the mall and headed to GAP, she is sooooo my daughter. After her and Emily found some really cute pieces for her spring wardrobe we went to the movie. The movie was really cute and the girls got their usual large popcorn and medium drinks. After the movie we went home and the girls just hung out. Saturday morning, the actual day of her b-day, they were up and ready to go. I took them to a spa/store called Rouge and they got pedicures. My daughter says she now realizes why I love getting pedicures so much :) After pedicures it was off to Christina's basketball game and the home for lunch. We then went to dinner at this great place called "Fireworks", wood fired pizza, super yummy, and then went to Cold Stone for dessert. What a fun filled day!!!

So to my awesome 13 year old I say HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!! Your are the best.
