I have a teenager

The start of a hectic day.

My baby is 13. No biggie I hear you say, well no, probably not to most people, but its one of a gazillion major milestones that will be happening miles away from the rest of our family.

So how does a 13 year old spend their birthday? well that can be a tricky one. Clearly, they are too big for bounce houses and they cant chat to each other during a movie, so I had planned an awesome day of pampering and playing. 

First off, hair and nails at Capri Beauty School in Oak Forest. The girls had a blast getting their nails and hair curled and a beauty school party is a great experience for the client and the beauticians.
Quick bite to eat, then it was off to party no. 2 at Dave and Busters in Orland. Food + video games = 10 happy kids and an easy party for the parents. I highly recommend it and the food is pretty great. The party assistants also insisted on doing the full clean up. :) Kerching.

After all the party fun it was back to our house for some gift opening and relaxing, before I had to dash off to the Rave Run at Grant Park. More birthday fun tomorrow, when we enjoy a truly delicious lunch with Kelly and family. :)
