Birthday Interview

Teen Birthday Interview

Amelie is 14! Actually a teen!

She had a sleepover party & I took no photos! 4 girls came over & ate Chinese food and stayed up late & jumped on the trampoline & doodled & drew on themselves & played instruments & had ice cream sundaes & opened presents & watched movies & convinced me to sign up for a free trial of Apple TV so they could watch a particular show & did A LOT of talking. It was pretty chill! 

For her birthday meals, she had crepes with a candle in it and suffered through us singing "Happy Birthday" for breakfast. I packed special Bluey fruit snacks for snack and she chose Dairy Queen for dinner. I didn't make a cake and she didn't notice. For our present, we got her a paraffin wax melt (for hands and feet - just exactly like the one my Aunt Juli had in the 90’s!) & are going to redecorate her room when school gets out!
