It is my daughter, Leah's 14th birthday. One more year before she will be driving (Lord help us all) and this is her last year of Jr. High. I love this child, however, I am also thankful we have made it this far. She loves to try my patience!
This morning her Aunt called her birthday in to a local radio station. Leah won flowers from a florist here in town. How neat is that? I picked up the certificate and the flowers on my lunch so that she would have them today.
We had a dinner together and then celebrated. Leah opened her new Old Navy black shirt, a 'puffy' hooded vest and a new thermal blanket for her bed. She also received gifts from family and friends: new 'cool' purse, bracelet set, Christmas pullover, blue pullover and a $10 Micky D's gift card. Her 'away at college' brother even called her to wish her birthday greetings.
One of my co-workers brought her in a dozen cupcakes to share - there were plenty leftover, so we opted out of baking a cake and did a candle in a cupcake. With it being just Leah and myself, we didn't need a cake around to munch on with the holidays coming up.
I hope she enjoyed her day and she still has 'celebrating' to do this weekend with her father - dinner out!
