Sticky Pics With My Teenager

I've posted these kind of pictures before, from the Japanese Photo Booths. It's fun and something that especially teen girls think is fun to do with friends and boyfriends. So when your newly turned 15 year old teen girl wants to take these pictures with YOU, on her birthday, it's pretty special. Ofcourse I took her to the closest Sticky Pic's booth, and we took some sweet pictures as a memory of her birthday!

Love her and love the pictures- even if some of them turn out blurry when you try to take pictures of the pictures.

Love you forever and ever sweet girl!!

Birthday Celebration

 Daddy made a heart out of her steak,

 served with Texas fries and homemade Bearnaise Sauce. 

 Make a wish birthday girl!

Benjamin and Isabella gave her the perfume that she had seen awhile ago in a Japanese store that was called Cassandra!! She was so happy they remembered that!

Just two weeks before her birthday, I spent some time with her shopping for some new shorts, tops and jeans. She had a whole cart full of new clothes, and I said that instead of wrapping them up, this was still considered part of her birthday present. I also made her put back two dresses and a pair of white capris that day, saying that she didn't really need them and that maybe that she'll go back and get them from her babysitting money if it was something that she really wanted.

Little did she know that I went back the next day to pick the exact pieces up for her birthday, as I wanted to have some surprises in the bags too!

She had a great birthday and we had a nice celebration, even if it was only us in the family on her special day. But this was what she had wished for, and she had a day with her boyfriend before and when we came back from Spring Break, she had special dates with her friends too.

My sweet girl, 15 years old already! 

Time sure flies. We couldn't be more proud of what a beautiful young women she has grown into, inside and out!

Happy 15th Birthday!!!

Time flies, and here are finally the pictures from Cassandra's birthday. This year, she had decided to not have a big party like last year, but only spend time with her friends one on one.

So, her birthday, March 31st was on a Friday and that week, the schools were having teacher workdays on Thursday and Friday so she was off school for her birthday! She spend the Thursday in American Village together with her boyfriend, and ended the day with going out for dinner together.

So on Friday, as Chris was already on leave, we had planned to take her to a special place that has pretty cool milkshakes. It's called the Shack, and their shakes are out of this world, with anything and everything in them. It happened to be closed, bummer, so we have to go back there for pictures another time.

With plans changed, we decided to go out for a late lunch at another place that we hadn't gone to yet, the Mother's Cafe' which is supposed to have really good pancakes baked in the oven.

Silly girl!

Pretty girls!

Checking all the birthday messages...

Sweet sisters!!!!

My Benjamin and I!

Bella Boo - slowly turning into a toothless Princess!

My little Prince still has a full smile!

My man enjoying his ice coffee!

The birthday girl's pancake arrived first! Ordered with fresh berries!

My order of apple and caramel on my pancake.

Strange coffee drink, Strawberry ice coffee...wasn't too bad!

Love the fact that I can get some pictures from my daughter all the time we are out and about!

Bella made a "pretty picture" for Cassandra and herself on a picture from her iPad. 

After the late lunch, we went home to take it easy for awhile, Chris went to pick up a few things from the store, and I started to get things for the evening organized. The pictures from the dinner and celebrations at night will follow in a separate post to not make the posts too long!
