Kennedy wanted to have a sleepover for her birthday party this year and we decided it was time. We dined at The Chicken Shack, had a scavenger hunt at Target, and then came home to makes movies, watch a movie, play games, and eat some more.
We finally sang Happy Birthday to her over breakfast and topped the morning off right. I was so nervous about entertaining 13 and 14 year olds but these girls were dreamy! No drama, no fighting, no leaving anyone out. Just good old fashioned fun.
So far, Kennedy is a pretty mellow 13 year old. She is a great daughter and friend who likes to stay on the straight and narrow (thank goodness). My sister gave her a card for her birthday that said, "You are finally a teenager and a very beautiful, smart one. Don't let being a teenager make you stupid." I love that advice and I am sure it will stick with Kennedy.

Awe, what a nice post to hear wonderful comments from mother to daughter. Kennedy is a beautiful girl, inside and out. Glad we were able to spend some time together at New Year.
That sounds like a fun party!! I can't believe she's already a teenager. Seeing her be so level-headed provides me with hope for my "strong-willed" little ones! :)
Always let you mom be your best friend Kennedy - she is awesome and so are you.
Happy birthday Kennedy!!! Wow, we r getting old huh Allyson!?
