Birthday Interview

Amelie Birthday Interview

Amelie is 15! Her birthday came right during finals crunch time & we had to reschedule her party for next month! But we made a little celebration. She picked dutch baby pancake for birthday breakfast, Dairy Queen for her birthday dinner, & an ice-cream cake. 

Leah & Amelie & I picked up one friend & went to see Kiki's delivery service: 

And then tonight she played along for an interview.
