A success

Hi! Thought I would check in. I'm still here, but really busy these days. Just wanted to give a quick review of the birthday weekend.

The birthday bash was a success. The new teen got her ears pierced. She has been waiting for quite a while. (We gave each of our girls the date of their 13th birthday as the time they could get their ears pierced; a 'right of passage' if you will.)

We also had a scavenger hunt in the local mall. That was a lot of fun. Miss S' older siblings headed up each team and led them around the mall completing their list of tasks, taking pictures with cell phones, bringing back brochures from specified kiosks, etc. The hunt was topped of with cupcakes in the food court.

We were all a bit exhausted after an overnight-er to top off the momentous weekend and I think just now have caught up on our sleep!

All in all, it was a good weekend. The birthday girl even said that it was one of the best birthdays she's had! Yeah! A success. We can now check that event off the list of things to plan and do. Whew! I love being post-birthday party.
