Happy Teen Pre-Birthday Clarissa

Clarissa is turning 13 on the 26th.
She is a darling girl.
Beautiful from the inside out.
Always working hard to succeed.
And always helping me...with EVERYTHING.

For her birthday I wanted to spend a day
doing fun girl things together...

On her birthday
we are heading
to Arizona for Cecilias Birth DAY
...YEAH.

We need new toes....

...first stop Pedicures...
The whole treatment PLEASE!!!

...typical teenager...

Hot Paraffin Wax...yikes!!!

NEXT STOP...Olive Garden!

Enjoying her toes!

"Pretty Flower"

Happy Birthday Olive Garden Style

Great payback for Labor and Delivery!!!!


...worth the embarrassment for the chocolate...

We spent the remainder of the day shopping...most in Barns and Noble....books, books, journals, and more books.....

Like Mother, Like Daughter.

Happy Birthday
my sweet Clarissa!!!

---the end

...and On to New Beginnings!
