July 25th, a holiday in our house, came and went. It found Sienna 14 and starting high school! OMG! Her birthday always coincides with the start of school so things do get hectic around here between preparing for a party and for school. She chose to invite her friends over on Saturday and treated them all to The Dark Knight Rises, and then pizza and cake. Here are the girls in their superhero glory.
Sienna had a tough decision when choosing a cake. It was either this or an Avengers theme, but obviously the Harry Potter cake won because it was just too awesome to pass up.
And in my eyes, he's a superhero too!
For her actual birthday we went to Johnny Rocket's for dinner, and then home for cake and presents.
She enjoyed her presents, from collectibles to cash, so thank you!
So her birthday was successful, what about the first day of school? Well here is the proverbial first day picture and this was taken at about 5:40 a.m.! I think she looks bright eyed and bushy-tailed don't you?
And let's not forget Spenser, the new 7th grader.
He came home from his first day excited about all his classes and teachers. So yay! That's always good to hear. And since they are both taking Spanish and speaking some at home, Rob is tickled pink!
