Lauren turned the big 9 this summer. We had a family party at home with her favorites~ stroganoff for dinner and chocolate cake which Hannah decorated per Lauren's instructions. She is delightful, silly, inquisitive, affectionate, tender hearted, a wonderful big sister, loves horses, nature and art.
She enjoyed opening gifts books, trading cards, movie
Hannah made us official parents of a teenager this summer, she turned 13. Hard to imagine. She had a friend over for homemade pizza and a movie. And of course cake and ice cream.
Special birthday loving from a little brother, who adores her. He knew something special was going on and just ran over and gave her a big hug.
Getting a little harder to fit all the candles on a cake and then blow them out.
She got her ears pierced, no pictures to post ; ) of that, she also wanted a desk for her room. We found one at a used furniture place. She and Ken sanded, painted, fixed up some drawers and added new hardware. It turned out great and she is thrilled.
She and I also went away for a mother-daughter get away, I'll post about that later. We had a really nice and special time together.
She is turning into such a wonderful young woman. She is even tempered, incredibly helpful often without being asked, thoughtful, responsible, still willing to be a little silly and goofy, a terrific big sister. She loves books, creative writing, photography, her own blog, horseback riding, music and of course talking to her friends.
We enjoyed celebrating two wonderful young ladies whom we are so blessed to have in our family.
