Happy "13 Going on 30" Princess #1

On November 28th, 2018 I officially had a newborn and a teenager. Quite the winning combination. Sarah has been eagerly waiting her birthday forever. :) She wanted to have a spa day so we purchased a parafin bath and extra wax for the girls to use along with other spa-ish goodies. We set up a photo booth the girls took advantage of before they went downstairs to hang out. They also watched the movie "13 going on "30", which Sarah had been waiting to see. Sarah chose to have a Texas sheet cake for her dessert, because it wasn't fancy, but tasted good.

On her birthday she has cheesecake for breakfast and I let her go to school a little late. She wanted to skip, but we were mean parents and allowed her to get a full education. I brought her In n Out for lunch and she thankfully only wanted grilled cheese for dinner. Her sweet YW leaders dropped this sign off so she got a lot of love during the day.

Here is some photo booth fun

Here she is opening her presents

Eating her fabulously exciting cake. (My first attempt at flowers looked like round blobs, but I tried...)

Sarah is a delight to parent. I'm so glad she's her own person and not like her mom at 13. ;) She is smart and witty. It's fun watching movies with her because she understands the meaning and humor and laughs a lot. She is a great big sister. She has been working harder at making the boys feel more loved by her since they sometimes feel left out of her world. She obviously loved Audrey and has been a huge help to Mike and me. These past 13 years have been great and although I don't want the years to pass quickly, I'm sure her next 13 years will be full of fun and adventure.
