Zoe's 14

None of us can believe that Zoe is 14, yet here we are.  Charging along in life and celebrating our girl! 

Her birthday landed on the Monday of spring break, so we all enjoyed sleeping in a bit, and then she wanted to open presents!

Some of her requested things for the day: Mingos for boba and their birthday cookie. 

 

She made me take this picture, and I obliged because it was her birthday (and let's be honest, I make my kids take pictures all the time that they don't want to do).

We picked up subs and enjoyed them at home.

Then it was off to the park for a couple hours and thankful a good friend could join us!

We grabbed Chick-fil-A on the way home and her dessert of choice was Luigi's Italian ice.

Then that weekend we celebrated her birthday with her friends at a Hawaiian themed party at the cafe.

She really is the cutest!

Silly photo booth pictures before we got rolling!

Apparently when your a teen you must make a kissing face.

Several attempts for a sibling photo...

We sure do love our big girl!

Thankful for the friends and family that were able to make it!

We played the saran wrap ball game again.  

This time I used Costco brand and it had a mega hold apparently.  This made the game much harder and ended up lasting quite a long time with each person getting multiple rounds to play.

Singing to our girl.

Then present time!

This girl loves her some pickles!

There had been some rubber chicken launchers in the saran ball that had been going around, and grammy got in on the action as well. 

We finished up with some line dancing fun!

That evening we got together with my family for dinner and family gifts.

She has become a Beatles fan!

Sweet cards from cousins.

And one more treat to cap off all the celebrations!

Zoe you are just maturing even more into such a thoughtful amazing young lady!  We are so thankful to have our kind, personality loving, helpful, friendly, running, extroverted, beautiful teen be a part of our family!
