the b-day girl (october 2017)

And then, just a week later comes Mae's 13th b-day! Yep, another teenager in the house!!

For 7th grade she did school online from home, so we were able to enjoy a nice weekday lunch at The Mill (https://www.themillofmilton.com). If I remember right, we really enjoyed their burgers and bread pudding!

Then a family b-day party with the cousins, where she got lots of snacks, some clothes, and other random gifts:).

My real gift to her was making/decorating her b-day cake. Doesn't sound like much of a gift, but she's the baker in the family and I basically know nothing about cake decorating, so she always LOVES it when I try my hand at one of her special arts ... I think my lack of ability really just entertains her;).

By some random miracle, the cake actually turned out decent (and tasty) ... although I'm not sure she would have cared either way. Now she wants it to be a yearly b-day tradition. Oh boy!! Wish me luck:)

We love love love this girl, and can't believe she's growing up so much. Feels too fast, but we also love watching the kind and capable person she's becoming.

I've been meaning to update our blog layout with the new family pictures we had taken in November. But since I'm not going to get around to it anytime too soon, I thought I'd include a couple with this post. Aren't ' they cute! The crazy part, though, is that as much as I LOVE these pictures (thanks to McKenzie Goff), they will already be outdated as of September. Here's why ... Dueck baby #5 Arriving September 24 th 2010
