Thirteen balloons, thirteen candles, with thirteen stripes (completely coincidental), placed on a chocolate cake, for a very special boy, who turned 13 yesterday.
Happy Birthday to your Charlie. Is this your first teen? Exciting time. Thanks for your words of welcome too - hopefully my blog break won't last too much longer. I miss it.
Wow - a whole year has gone by already? Leslie - I remember reading your post about his 12th birthday and can't believe it's been a year. I love your balloon tradition - great pics. Hope his birthday is a great one. Cute kid!
Happy birthday Charlie. 13's an exciting one - you're officially a teenager!
Leslie, I bet this event has you feeling mixed emotions - proud of your son, but at the same time a little wistful for how fast they grow up. At least that's how I feel every time mine gets a year older. =)
Such memories for me. My son was so happy when he reached 13 he wanted the teen attached so bad. Next month he will turn 23 I wonder if he still likes getting older? LOL
OMG, 13 is when they start to spend less time with you & more time with their friends. I've been there for 8 months, it stinks. I'd give anything to have him 2 again, playing with all his Thomas trains on the floor with me. HAPPY BIRTHDAY CHARLIE!
