The beauty salon

Today is your 13th birthday sweetheart! You have grown so much in the last couple of months, that you have turned into a pretty young lady.. We may no longer call you a child now, you say.
Since school started again today, we had your birthday party this weekend. On Saturday, you had 6 girl friends over. I asked a friend of mine, who is a professional beautician, to come over to our place, to teach you girls how to take care of your skin. You made pairs and she was the one who taught you how to cleanse your face, scrub your skin, put on make up. What a joy that was! Your friends were all very quiet and interested and definitely impressed. You learned about mascara and eye shadow and cleansing milk and of course, massaging the face of the person you were treating.
Afterwards, you continued having your own beauty salon, so you applied make up on each other, polished your finger nails, .. to become ravishing young ladies!

At night we had dinner together and then you all ran upstairs to.. talk about the boys, I guess? Everybody stayed overnight in your bedroom. I don't think I need to say any more..

All 7 of you were up in time for breakfast: American pancakes, sweat rolls, hot chocolate.. It was like you were all starved!!!!

In the afternoon, we were all invited at Grandma's, to celebrate yours and Grandpa's birthday with all the other members of the family. What a great time we had! It's good to have these family reunions on a regular basis. We're a tight group.

Happy Birthday my sweet Eva.. xxx you're a terrific daughter! and I can't express enough how much I love you.
