This was a big week in our house. Carrigan turned 13! And just like that, two of our three kids are teenagers. CC's big day fell on a Monday this year and she should have gone to school, but Elsie had the day off and I just didn't have the heart to make her go to school when Elsie got to stay home.
It turned out CC got to have her best day ever. The day started with her favorite breakfast, cinnamon rolls. Once everyone had gone off to school and work, Elsie and CC started crafting. They spent the morning doing all kinds of crafts.
Once the crafting was done, we headed out. We started with lunch out and then went to a local farm. Much to CC's extreme pleasure, they had all kinds baby animals and even some miniature zebu, which are a type of miniature cattle. There was a baby goat that followed us around and nibbled on our shoelaces. CC was in heaven.
After the farm, we went home for dinner, cake and presents. This year we did our best to throw CC of the scent by wrapping several presents with dollar tree items. The real gift was that we have planned a family trip to Silverwood theme park. We told her by giving her a stick wrapped in foil. Get it? SILVER WOOD. She was very confused. We leave in just a couple of weeks.
I have to say, I have really lucked out with very nice teenagers thus far. I know, famous last words, but we've been really blessed so far. CC is the best and we are so lucky to have her as part of our family.
