We have a teenager!! After two tough pregnancy losses, Abby was our very special rainbow baby who made us parents for the first time 13 years ago today. We are amazed everyday by her talents and tender heart and couldn't be happier with the beautiful young woman she is becoming both inside and out.
Since we ended up getting about 7 inches of snow that day, school was cancelled for her birthday and we were able to open up presents that morning. She got a lot of nice cards and gifts...
But her most favorite gift was a new-to-her phone!! We were reluctant about getting her a cell phone but she has proved herself to be very responsible and with some good parental controls, some firm rules about its usage, and no social media we decided to make it happen for her first birthday as a teenager. She is the last of her friends to get a phone and she was thrilled to be joining in on all the fun!
Most of the restaurants were closed that night because of the snow. After trying several different locations, we finally ate at Golden Corral. It was pretty gross because the food had been sitting out for so long with so few customers so I am issuing a new decree that Golden Corral can no longer be a restaurant option for birthday dinner! I will be taking her out shopping and to lunch this next Saturday when the weather will hopefully cooperate a bit better for us!
Happy Birthday Abby!!
