Liv had a whole weekend celebrating her and Emma’s (whose birthday is just 2 days before hers) birthday. Emma and her Mom invited Liv and I and couple friends to stay overnight at their cabin Friday night. Liv and I had to leave early for a callback audition. They have a cabin near mirror lake in the Uintahs and the leaves were starting to change. It was so beautiful the girls took loads of pictures.
That night they made homemade pizza, snuggled on the couch and watched a movie, and stayed up till 2am talking before finally going to sleep.
Saturday night, Liv and
Emma threw the hugest Glow in the Dark Party in our backyard.
Derek hung up black lights around the pickleball court transforming it into a glow in the dark dance floor. The girls set up glow in the dark games around the yard- tic-tac-toe, glow pong, ring toss, and a place for people to write favorite memories with the birthday girls. Derek and I ran a soda bar.
Daniela made it cool with signs announcing Liv’s choice- “The Game Day” Dr. Pepper with cream and coconut, Emma’s choice- “The Sponsor” with Baja Blast and Cream or kids could create their own choice. They had 70 kids there!
The girls tried to hide all the basketballs
so the boys wouldn’t play basketball.
However, they ended up smuggling in a basketball hoop so the girls
decorated it with glow in the dark tape and decided to allow it to stay. It was wild and crazy night, but Liv came up
and gave me a huge hug during the night and said “Thanks for letting me have a
party Mom.” And I decided it was all worth it.
On Liv’s actual birthday, I took her to take her driving permit written
test after school. She passed and has
loved driving all around town wherever we will let her.
That night we went to dinner at Olive Garden with Grandpa. We gave her some much wanted Doc Martin “stompy clompies,” a Paige Fish necklace, and digital camera.
