So the bad news for Kendra is that her actual birthday was mostly spent in the car. But then she got so many other celebrations, that I think we made up for it! She got cake at Lynda and Greg's, she got brownies from us, she got lots of presents from her grandparents (plus Mochiko for dinner!) and we finished off those brownies, AND she got to have a party with her friends. So I think by the end, she came out on top!

| Camille dug through her old school work and decided this color wheel giraffe would make a good present for Kendra! |
 |
| She got LOTS of very cool bottles of nail polish (seriously, they're all metallicy and multicolored and stuff!) and a few other odds and ends that made her siblings jealous |
For her party, we just used the clubhouse and got Costco pizza for everyone. Kendra usually only sees her friends for 15-minute bursts at school, so she was worried they would run out of things to talk about, so we'd brought Mamma Mia! for them to watch if they got bored, but they were MUCH more interested in talking and goofing off together than in a movie, which pleased me no end.

| Kendra was very sweet and let her siblings be there for the first few minutes of the party |
When they came to pick up their girls, all the moms (and one dad) commented on what a great party this was and how everyone was having so much fun, leading to me joke with Craig that I should set up a Pinterest page with my amazing party ideas. But I am glad that they got to be together and just enjoy hanging out. That hasn't happened nearly enough these last two years and it is definitely time we got back to it!
Happy Birthday, Kendra, my sweet 14-year-old!!!
