Jesse's birthday

As hard as it is for me to believe Chloe is eleven, it is more difficult to believe Jesse is now thirteen! It seems just yesterday we were bringing her home from the hospital. But here we are.

She refused to plan anything this year. She just wanted to do whatever whim set upon her for the day. She had talked about going out to IHOP for lunch, but in the end decided against it.

I think her day was rather set after she opened her presents that morning.



 


Over 2,000 pieces! She stayed in her pajamas all day, while working 12 hours to finish it. She has decided to keep it together, for awhile, and display it in her room. I really don't blame her.



She has not started the book yet, but I know by the end of the week she'll finish it.

At lunch, it was raining so she decided having her Dad pick-up lunch at Marco's would suit her fine.

She and Chloe baked her cake Friday; she and I finished it Saturday. It is an ode to National Ice Cream Sandwich day, which is the same day as her birhday. The icing is the "ice cream". It was really good and she did a good job putting it together.


I think overall she had a good day.
