The "Baby" is a Teenager

 The last teenager of the house-Mia finally turned 13.  She's the baby, and now she's a big teenager-how can it be?  

Well, her birthday fell on a Friday.  So the obvious thing to do was to have dinner with her friends.  She chose Sweet Paris as the place to celebrate.  It's a cute little trendy creperie that my girls enjoy going to.  So we gathered  9 of her friends and went to eat crepes on a cold Friday night.

The girls got dressed up- which was really eye opening to see these once little girls that are now young ladies.  They are all beautiful and looked so grown. We had a table upstairs- where it was really hot.  The girls ate their crepes and chit chatted amongst their selves. After they ate, Mia decided to open up her presents.  I was very proud of her.  She opened up each gift, patiently, and walked over to each girl and gave her a hug after each gift.  It was super sweet, and it really shows how loving she is.  

After opening gifts, we went outside for a quick photo session.  These girls were so much fun.  I thought they'd be cold taking the pictures.  But they loved it.  It was a nice little cool down since we were  so hot upstairs.  

Once back upstairs, we had cake and took more photos.  The girls really enjoyed themselves.  And Mia had a great time.

I normally do a photo session for the girls' birthdays.  Here are a couple from Mia's.  Her photo sessions are always a challenge...It's always cold/windy and the sun sets so early! 

Look at my pretty teenager.  I wish her a wonderful year.  May she continue to be a good friend, a respectful student, and may she always make good choices- even if it means choosing the unpopular opinion.  May God continue to bless you in every moment of your life! We love you baby girl!
