Yesterday was a big day in our house. Not only were the last fans and dehumidifiers removed, but Kate turned 13.
Personally, I love the teen years and we had a great time celebrating Kate's entry into them. At 6:30am, Eric and I kidnapped her.
Isn't she beautiful even straight out of bed?
We took her out for breakfast and to my surprise, she wanted to try a tofu breakfast taco. She loved it! That's definitely a sign she is no longer a little kid although she did wash it down with a hot chocolate.
Kate wanted a spa day for her birthday and one thing on her list was a mayonaise hair treatment. All I can say is that you have to love someone very much to do this for them. It is disgusting! But apparently, according to Youtube videos, this will make your hair shiny and smooth like nothing else.
(If I thought doing Kate's hair was bad, when it was Abby's turn it was much worse. Her hair is twice as thick and four times as long. I think we used half a jar of mayonaise.)
You are suppose to let the mayonaise set for 20 minutes, so in the meantime, we made a face mask with oatmeal, honey and yogurt. What pampered children I have!
Shortly after her photo was taken, Abby ate her cucumbers.
Next came ombre manicures. Apparently, you can find tutorials for everything on the internet!
And after all that, there was just time left to make her favorite dinner, open presents and have cake and ice cream. Happy Birthday Kate!
