Last weekend was Alex's 13th birthday! I showed her this picture of me because I am about 13 years old there. Her first response was, "Do you have makeup on?" Ha Ha! I proceeded to tell her that just because it looked like I NEEDED it didn't mean that SHE was going to get to wear any. Well, maybe some mascara, occassionally! My eyelashes are transparent without it. I strategically married a dark haired man to counterbalance that and it worked!
Here she is with her electric guitar even though it looks more like a banjo!! Let's just say that it will be a cake that we will never forget!
We also played a couple of games. I played a little bit from a couple of songs on Alex's playlist and they had to identify as many songs as possible. We also had them write down the lyrics from her favorite song and the winner with the most words, received one of her favorite CD's. I love iPods! They are so much easier than big, console stereos with vinyl records.
Happy Birthday Alex!

Birthdays. Oh my goodness I remember so many of them with balloons and crepe paper and special cakes. Beauty and the Beast, Robin Hood, Dragons and cars. That is the good stuff, the things you remember about them being babies. 13 is such a special year. You did good mom!
