You're 13, you're beautiful - and you're mine !

My teen girl had a pretty awesome birthday, even though it involved a full day of school first... Her friends dolled up her locker, and she spent much of the day singing for the kids in the cafeteria during the three lunch shifts -- missing a bunch of classes in the process... Way to celebrate! ;)

When school and choir were over, we picked her up and took her for a special birthday dinner at Candicci's, because she has specifically requested canneloni. Mmmm. Then, it was home for cupcakes and PRESENTS!


She got various sparkly things for her hair, some warm and snuggly shirts, a hoodie (also warm and snuggly) and the big-ticket item: An iPod dock that plays the radio and CDs and has a remote. Whee! She and Daddy spent the next hour or so just playing with it. She got the "Twilight" series of books from Grandma.

Thanks to everyone who sent greetings and gifts! For more photos from Emilyn's 13th birthday, click here.
