Celebrating 14

On the last day of spring break, we celebrated our only

brown-eyed girl's birthday.
She turned 14.
Mic drop.

How did THAT happen?

This girl is such a pleaser and insisted that she didn't want to

do anything big for her birthday this year.

We batted around ideas that would include her friends,

but because it's still spring break we couldn't think of anything

that wouldn't already be super crowded.
Because of the sleep needs of a shift working police-officer Dad,
and that her Mom had an early morning meeting the next day,
a sleepover at home was ruled out too.

So we settled for some special treats, shopping,

and a big family dinner at one of our favorite restaurants.

This girl is beloved by all,
and we so appreciate her peaceable spirit

and her eagerness to be a helper to anyone who needs it!!

Happy 14th Birthday, Abby!!!
