1st day of school!

 Two high schoolers this year...a freshman and a junior!

Teresa started yesterday with her orientation day for freshman. She had a pretty good day.  Happy to find she had friends in several classes and at lunch.  She walked through her class schedule, so fears of getting lost have diminished.  Most teachers seemed okay.  French class is small and speech class is huge.  I am sure this the start of many adventures!

We celebrated her first day with Croissant sandwhiches and oven fries for dinner.  Her treat was bundlets from Nothing Bundt Cakes.

Timothy began his junior year today.  His first year driving to school.  He has some friends in a few classes and at lunch.  That is the main bonus of starting school--seeing friends regularly again!  To celebrate we went our for pizza.  We tried a new place.  Teresa really liked it.  Timothy thought the pizza was okay.  He got crepes for breakfast and an oreo cake for a first day treat.  Hoping for a great year for Timothy as his high school career is zooming by.

Happy Birthday!

 Teresa turned 14 last month.  And she has been celebrating a lot!  Since she was away at camp on her actual birthday, she has had four different celebrations with family and friends.  Not bad!

The first celebration before her birthday was ajoint party with Sophie.  It was at Sophie's house, so I only have two pictures.  I did make up a scavnger hunt and a couple of other games for them to play as they hung out together for the evening.

There were no phones allowed at camp, so no pictures of her on her birthday.  But this is who she was hanging out with.  She did get sung to at dinner and got a special cookie cake for her cabin.

Then we were at Grandma's house--time for mor celebrating with Grandma and Fiona.  There were presents, Olive Garden take out, movie watching and shopping!

Mug cakes were the dessert of choice.

Finally it was time to celebrate at home with the family.  More presents, and more shopping.  Take out from Panera, and the favorite brownie ice cream cake.  She also got some cooler weather, so she could try out her new Paris shirt.  Troy and I and I sang to her and made her blow out candles to make the day complete! Some fun celebrations for a wonderful young lady.
