A Teen in the House

Emily became a teenager, the big one-three!
The invite I made
So for her 13th birthday we wanted to include some of her favorite things.

Go see a movie.. .
Went to see Cloudy with the Chance of Meatballs 2
Eating...
Got take out from one of her favorite places, Ohana Hawaiian BBQ
Art and Crafts...
Painting Pumpkins
Eating Dessert...
Make your own Ice Cream Sundaes
And Nail Painting...
Emily teaching her friends how to put personal decals on their nails
 And of course.. thanking her friends with goodies with at least one 'bird' item
Goodie Bag filled with a owl manicure set, nail polish and Bath & Body Works antibacterial gel or hand lotion.
She actually spent the week prior prepping for her party.. gathering important information from all her attendees to what their favorite things were (for her to make their personal decals) to what were  their favorite ice cream flavors and colors for their nail polish.

Back Row (L-R): Yoli, Sarah-Grace, Caryn, Adrianne, Emily, Jaanvi, Alex, Rachel, Shawna; Front Row: Anissa, Jessica
Half of the girls are currently in her 7th grade class at KHA; the other half attend other schools but used to attend KHA (except Rachel). She still desires to keep in touch with her former classmates (I think we haven't seen Alex in like two years since Emily's 11th birthday party.) which I think is a wonderful attribute to have. (You know the phrase, Friends are friends forever.)


I am very thankful that she has such a wonderful group of sweet young women for friends.

It's amazing to me how big your girls are! Wasn't Emily about 4 years old when I moved away? What a blessing that your girls have you as a mom. Miss and love ya.
