14 Years Mafria

Rise and Shine Sunshine, today is your birthday!  

We have a fun filled day planned. No time for sleeping, rise and shine. I love it when birthdays fall on the weekend so we have plenty of time for spoiling.

We sure missed Teesh during our festivities but that's part of flying the coop I guess. Malia chose Denny's for breakfast, win win. They celebrate birthdays by giving birthday girl her meal free!

Birthday girl was so excited to open her gifts so without further delay we opened gifts. She was thrilled with the heavy heavy hang over they poor head game.

the suspense is killing me.........

Victory! Just what she wanted right along with an I tunes gift card.

Oh my goodness can she get any prettier! 

We love you Malia Ruth, what a joy you are.

We invited Grandma Hansen and Avery  for pizza. I asked Malia what kind she wanted and she replied "I don't know little Caesars?" I responded, "Um, no not for your 14 birthday, we are going big for the birthday girl!" We love this place. They have several awesome pizzas, if you have never been, go, your life will change because of it, ha ha.

I took Malia out shopping for some unmentionables and other fun things. We made a day of it and were gone for hours. Malia is so fun to talk with. She makes me laugh. She is so smart and funny. I couldn't be more proud of her!

So you have Alfredo sauce with Canadian bacon and pineapple, BBQ sauce with chicken and red onions, or a pesto chicken with mushrooms. It's a toss up which is the best! Bria was a hungry girl, she ate three large pieces plus her salad.

After pizza, we went home for cake and ice cream and movie watching. Jaren and Cindy with a few girls showed up for the celebrating.

We made it easy on the birthday girl, only two candles.

the party was a bit much for some family members, good night Sierra!

Malia reported that this was the best birthday ever! Success, that was what we were shooting for.
