A Birthday To Remember!!!!!

 My wonderful Miranda turned 13 in style this week.  We have had three full days of celebration and she will not forget this birthday any time soon.

Her actual birthday was Friday but we started the festivities on Thursday with a friend birthday party.
She has made some wonderful friends here and they have all been so sweet to her.

They came over and we had a fire in the backyard.  We taught them how to make a smore, played games, danced and just had a great time.  They showered her with wonderful gifts.

Miranda is becoming such an amazing young lady and I am very proud to be her mother.

One of our great friends that we have made is a professional cake decorator so we had her make a cake for Miranda's birthday.  It turned out so great and Miranda loved that her face was on it.

 The five girls at the party were Diana, Maria, Estella, Mirium, and Isabel.

 This is Mariela, she was the one that made the cake.


For Miranda's actual birthday we had a normal family birthday. We even had another BBQ in the backyard with marinated teriyaki chicken over the fire pit. It was a great day where everyone in town and at school knew it was her birthday so she was showered with "Happy Birthday" and "Feliz Cumpleanos"  All Day.

Saturday was Miranda's Young Women's activity for church and it more or less turned into another birthday party.  She invited two of her friends from Chucena to go with her.

The group of girls went bowling and came back to the church for food where her young women's leader surprised her with a birthday cake made just for her.

Happy 13th Birthday Baby Girl!!!
