We have a teenager in the house!

This week was Alex's 13th birthday! She's officially a teenager. Dad is having a hard time coping. Alex on the other hand is super excited! She was so sweet. Her birthday fell on the same day as Maddie's first competition of the season and she spent the entire day there supporting her sister. I thought that was so mature of her. She did get to bring two of her friends to spend the day with her. I'm sure trouble ensued....we just don't know about it.


The next day we had our usual "family party" but this time we all met up at Alex's favorite restaurant which is a Japanese steakhouse. It was during the Superbowl so the place was pretty empty which was nice. Everyone got to visit and enjoy all the chef's tricks. Here are a few pictures from the evening.

Alex has been in choir at school and they recently had tryouts for regional choir. Alex did so great! She made the cut and was one of only 20 to make it from her school out of about 80 who tried out. And of the 20, very few were 7th graders. We are so proud of her! I tried to get her to sing her tryout song and let me record it to put on here, but that was a no-go. Sorry.

Track starts next week....more to come on that!
