Homeschoolers get busy at this time of year too!
L-girl turned 12 this year.
She too, picked me for her special birthday meal. She has inherited her mother's love of Chinese cuisine, so we tried out a new place together.....and I forgot to have someone snap a picture of us on our way out!
Too bad, because we looked really good. Chaos around here sometimes, I tell you.
Her food was better than mine, which is only fair, since it was her birthday! We both got fortunes that made us smile. We are both still a bit peeved that we didn't get our promised egg roll. But, overall, it was a good day.
We came home and she got to open presents.
V-girl went out on a limb this time and shopped in her own closet (rather than off the floor) this time and gave L-girl the step stool she uses to get her clothes down. That girl just cracks me up!
Tried and true gift from A-man (the same thing he got for A-girl)....One Direction trading cards.
A-girl helped add to her One Direction trading cards and got her a drinking cup (that I steal as often as I can)!
Somehow D-man and S-girl escaped pictures this time around. In case you can't guess, birthday present opening time can get a little chaotic! Usually, I am a fanatic about making sure I get pictures of each of them, so I am not sure what happened this time around.
So, I will just include recent pictures of them with L-girl to document the approximate time of her birthday.
Here she is at D-man's graduation from a youth leadership program in our county.
Here she is with S-girl, at the Cinderella viewing party, in the room we have ready for Grandma.
If you remember, at A-girl's birthday this year, she and L-girl got a one joint gift to open on A-girl's birthday, and the other would be opened on L-girl's birthday.
This second gift came in a big box that had been tormenting them for weeks.
What is it????
A dress form!
It has a stand and everything. They were so excited....and, honestly, I was super excited to give it to them. It cost more than I would usually spend on their gifts, but after seeing what they could do with swimwear and all the other cute skirts and dresses they have made, I knew it would be used.
(Coming soon: A Micro Business sewing custom clothing! They are just trying to work out the details. I am so excited for them.)
Now, L-girl's birthday being so close to Easter this year, we ended up waiting awhile(honestly, it was like 2 weeks) to have her cake....poor thing. But, she did get it....and it had fruit....so she was happy!
Happy birthday, my sweet, sweet, L-girl!
