Fifteen + One Week

I am overdue for a Happy Birthday post. Emily has already spent a week as a 15-year-old. It was a very laid-back birthday. She didn't want a party and even dragged her feet on having a special dessert. In the end, she opted for some macarons.

Emily's one request was that we do some shopping. She loves going to the mall, so we did that and also made a stop at Target. I got her a few presents from her list, but nothing too exciting. She also has some presents waiting for her in Minnesota, so she has that to look forward to when she heads up there in a couple of weeks.

Although it looks like we went out for dinner for her birthday, we did not. The photo above was actually taken a few days after her birthday when we went for French food. It's proving to be a relatively quiet summer. Despite all the time on her hands, she hasn't started tackling her driver's ed course yet, so I suppose that is one less thing for me to worry about as she gets older. LOL.
