I can't believe my Kaleb and Noé turned 14 (old enough to start going to church youth dances!)! It's always hard to celebrate birthdays on school days, so this year we've started a new tradition. They took brownie bites to school to share with their classmates (the teachers of the older grades don't care like those of the younger grades do), then that night we had a simple celebration at home with a pancakes topped with strawberries, whip cream, and candles dinner. Our kids are good sports and they were fine with this, as they also got to open their birthday cards from both of their sets of grandparents ($$). We're also not throwing any "friends" birthdays this year (just too stressful with our upcoming move).
We'll celebrate Kaleb's birthday as a family again on Saturday. He's going go-karting, getting a blue cake, and his birthday gifts from us.
The following Saturday we'll celebrate Noé's birthday as a family. She's going to Sephora for a make-up lesson, getting a pink cake, and her birthday gift from us.
I'm sure they'll have more fun surprises this year and I'm just so grateful that they are mine!!
Happy Birthday Kaleb and Noé!!
