I officially have a teenager! Emily turned 13 this month and celebrated at the Beauty College. She invited 6 friends (all that can fit in our car) & they got "up-do's" and their nails painted. Afterwards we headed to a little ice cream shop on main street and had shakes, sang Happy Birthday and opened presents.
This lady that is doing her nails is also the one that did her hair. Emily was the first in her chair and the next to last to leave it. The lady had no idea what she was doing and I found out latter that she was telling Emily her hair had too many layers to do a cute style. Emily does her hair cuter than this daily. I was fuming when Emily was telling me the things the lady was telling her. But sweet Emily told me it was ok b/c at least all of her friends got cute styles. So the girls had cute do's and we had to show them off
Alicia decided to let her friends vote on which party to do and they chose ice skating. I'm telling you, this is the way to go. Take them skating (or whatever), take them for ice cream and take them home. What an easy, fun, relaxing party. These girls had a blast. They skated for almost 2 hours while I read a book and froze my hiney off. Then they each got a banana split or shake and were as happy as could be. This is such a cute age and Alicia really knows how to pick her friends.
I love my girls! They are such great helpers & a blast to hangout with. I was really blessed when my girls came first. They are wonderful big sisters & their little brothers admire them. My siblings think my boys will be warped for life for all the times they are "dressed-up" in make-up, nail polish or dresses but just look at my little brother Jim~ he turned out all right, and he was the cutest little girl ever!

I was just thinking about your girls' birthdays last night when I was transferring my calendar to a new calendar. :) Glad they had fun for their birthdays!
....and very popular!!!
My boys each have 1 maybe 2 good friends but maybe thats the difference between boys & girls.
I love your girls!!! They are way fun and they are welcome down to Vegas anytime!!!!
Happy birthday girls sorry Aunt Robin didn't get anything sent off but remind me next time I see you and I'll take you shopping. Your both my favorite stucki girls (;
What fun! I have been waiting for pics from their b-days! :) Happy Birthdays girls!
That is so fun! Great ideas Nan! I am so impressed.
I hope the birthday was fun - it sure looks like it.
ummmm... Jim turned out alright? Are you sure? :-)
that looks like so so much fun. you are so creative to let them do that with friends...what a great idea! We need to get together. The treehouse was fun today we should plan a day to meet there.
You are such a fun mom! I hope to still have a good relationship with Bailey when she's 13. I heard "Livin' On a Prayer" on the radio and thought of you.
Nan, I am TOTALLY copying you!!! I love the party ideas, although that makes me MAD about Emily's hair girl. Did you say anything to her later?
Your girls are so cute!
