Layne celebrated her 14th birthday on July 7, 2010. If only we still lived in Iowa, she would be driving with her permit. She will have to wait one more year for that here. We drove back from Iowa on Tuesday (there will be a blog for that also) so that we could be here for her birthday and mostly so Heath could spent the day with her. Because of his travel, we has been out of the country for her last three birthdays. He was very excited to spend the day with her and had a list of things they were going to do.
The day started off with Heath and I getting her out of bed and giving her a few of our gifts.
We had her trampoline re-stitched and I think she was excited about that. I know Roxy is, she loves to lay on it.
Layne got some new clothes.
Some new headphones.
Victoria's Secret??
Card and her favorite gift from Grandpa Steve....money.
After I left for work, the two headed out on their birthday adventure. It started with a stop at Starbucks, but not just any Starbucks....the one that is connected to Barnes & Noble!!
She had her usual....Carmel Frap and a cinnamon roll.
Then over to buy some books.
Their next stop was Independent Records (no photo) for some CDs and records. I think they spend hours looking through all the music.
Lunch was Lowe's for hot dogs....yes one of Layne's favorites.
They were giving me photo updates during the day....and this means things are going great!
The day also included a movie....Clash of the Titans.
Then finally some gelato.
After I got off work we headed to Chipotle for some burritos!!
Layne wanted to just hang out at home and watch a movie for the rest of the night. She wasn't feeling great and pretty tired from the day!! I fell asleep (like usual) and that was about it for the big birthday. I think she had a great day and spent some really great time with her dad. She is having a party with friends on Saturday.
Layne....I hate that another year has gone by and you keep getting older, but I love the person you are becoming. Happy Birthday Layne.
