| Pancake O this year:))) |
Vanilla Bean, Beachy girl, Girly Girl. Beauty, Meh Meh,
Sweets- 13th bday is officially over –it has been spread out over the last week
though celebrating!
 |
| All the wild dancing girls. Found a guy who worked there to harass and love and invited him inot the pic! |
Celebrations started more than a week ago on a Friday
night and had 10 girls for her party at I-saute Trampoline center. They all
left dance after school and went to Dagwood’s on their own for dinner (all are dancers minus one girl) After I-saute back to our place for cupcakes and another
7 boys here of my son's friends who were happy to throw Beauty up in the air for
the bumps. A sleepover for 4 of them and Nutella bagel breakfast the next
morning.
Thursday night we did our family celebration with her BFF
at a Thai resto and with my Mom too. And the electricity went out as she opened
her gifts and as the appetizers were being served! Two hours in the cold and
dark but food was cooked by gas and hot and delicious!

| Didi was feeling well enough to make it to our Thai in the dark dinner. |
Her real bday on Saturday we were at our traditional PG
2014with Sister Savvy and Lexie (more on that later in a different post) We
took train home and at 8pm Daddy picked us up and out to Harvey’s for a burger
and Menchies
This morning Sunday a day late-woke her up at 10:30am for
all her gifts and a treasure hunt for candy and of course her bay tradition of letter pancakes(now
we are onto her middle name) spelling out her name yearly in a pancake. Then
eating crepes with Nutella and whipping cream and squirting a bunch of whipped
cream in her mouth.
She liked her gifts a lot and spent the day with her friend figuring out and enjoying her new cotton candy maker (still a bebe at heart and always ask for one "toy")
Hubby and I spent the afternoon downtown roaming around and then went out for a little Indian sandwich at a nearby fancy food court. It
was fun to stay in the city and have a short little day together. Tonight decorating
the tree and making our normal Sunday night meal. Tonight on menu is cream cheese
chicken, yellow, beans, rice and brownies.
It was a great bay for Beauty and a great and busy day
for us.
5 things I can say about Beauty this year:
1-Damn straight up resilient!!! The kid is fearless in
most way (except for spiders). She has been through A LOT this year and makes
it all look like a piece of cake. She is a fighter and fearless in almost every
area of her life.
2-Popular. She has soooo many different and diverse friends
and they all love being around her. We went around the table at the party and her friends chose one word to describe her" Cool" and "Fun" were pretty much where is was at.
3-She is a very talented dancer and the fit with her new
school is perfect
4-She is much more reserved than most of her family. (Mostly
with adults-with kids and teens another part of her is accessed) Sometimes shy,
sometimes doesn’t know what to answer, sometimes doesn’t like to be hugged, can
switch her emotions on and off like a light switch in general but also a huge party animal at times. My paradox girl
5-Has a HUGE heart for anyone who she perceives as
struggling in any way. Those she sees equal or higher to her. Well that’s
another storyJ)
Happy 13th Bday my darling!!!!!
