Her birthday fell in the middle of the week this year. So we didn't celebrate big until the weekend. The day before her birthday, I did get to go on a field trip with her to the Amon Carter Art Museum. Which ended with a trip to the food court at the Northeast Mall. Middle school kids have all the luck these days.
On her actual birthday, we kicked off the day with birthday cinnamon rolls and a few presents. Jeff had to go out of town. But he was there for the 'first thing in the morning' celebration. Afton was delighted to find her friends had filled her locker with candy. I dropped off lunch for her- no mommas in the middle school cafeteria!- and they all sang happy birthday. So sweet.
That afternoon, Maisy had tutoring with Ms. Pat and the girls got to make a surprise craft- a Peep in a Car! So cute! I made dinner for the girls at home that night and we ended the 'official' birthday with a slice of cake from Celebrity.
The day after her birthday, she met cheer friends up at McCallister's for a fund raiser. I am so excited for her to be on a cheer team again.
That Saturday, we finally got to celebrate Afton in a BIG way! She invited15 friends to Main Event- they bowled, played laser tag, ate pizza and cake, and finished the night with games. I was so happy she was surrounded by so many good friends.
When we got home, Maisy ran upstairs and changed. Then she came down and performed a beautiful dance for Afton as her present. Does it get any cuter than this???!
Happy Birthday Afton! WE LOVE YOU!
