My baby girl is 14! With a huge party last year when she officially became a teenager, this year was a more low key family celebration at home. Rusty and I filled Ashleigh's bedroom with balloons after she went to sleep the night before her birthday. We covered the floor and tossed some onto the canopy over her bed. I was worried she would wake up in the middle of the night and get scared of some ominous shapes looming overhead but all worked well and it was a fun surprise to wake up to on her birthday!She got to open one gift in the morning before school (a set of earnings). She didn't ask for a single thing for her birthday since she got what she really wanted a couple weeks ago for Christmas. (a keyboard and a pair of boots she had her eye on for months)
Without thinking about it, I had cooked one of her favorite meals the night before (I should have waited for her birthday dinner) so for dinner that night we did fast food. Boy oh boy did we do fast food. She listed quite a few things, from different restaurants that sounded good. With it being her birthday and all, I mean, a girl only turns 14 once, I told her we could stop at all of them!1 chili cheese dog from Wienerschnitzel
1 crispy bean burrito from Tacotime
1 order of fries, animal style, from In-N-Out burger
1 large drink, horchata, from Betos
She opened the rest of her gifts when we got home. She got t-shirts, scarves, makeup, hair accessories and jewelry. Surely things that a 14 year old fashion conscience girl can't get enough of.
We finished the birthday celebration with strawberry cake, chocolate frosting & sparkler candles. Yum.
I hope you have a fantastic year sweetheart.
