Happy 13th Birthday Cortlynn!

I can't believe how fast the years fly by and Cortlynn is now 13 years old.  I have a TEENAGER???  How crazy is that?  I remember turning 13---Cortlynn's hair is better (thankfully she hasn't discovered SunIn) and she doesn't like bright blue eyeshadow)-I hope she will have fond memories of becoming a teen.  She really wanted a red velvet cake-and she had pinned so many cake decorations on Pinterest that narrowing it down was the challenge.  I kept my plans a secret so she was so surprised when she came home from dance and saw it.  I thought I did an ok job--especially since I volunteered at the school for 2 hours, had a mystery shop to complete, and was called in to give a statement at the police station--ON TOP of trying to decorate the cake while entertaining Kyra and Brynlee.  I was just slightly overwhelmed.  I didn't have the patience for 12/13 year old girl drama, so a full blown birthday party wasn't an option.  Instead-she is planning on having 2 friends over to watch Catching Fire---hopefully this weekend.  Trying to schedule this in between the 3 girl's schedule has been difficult.  Cortlynn chose to eat at Pizza Pie Cafe-I didn't argue with that one-we were able to do that just this last weekend.  YUMMY!

I did the crepe paper thing this year while she was at school-I just barely took this down yesterday.





Happy Birthday Cortlynn!!!!  We love you so much!
