My beauty finally turned 13 this October! She's been looking forward to this day since her 12th birthday lol.
This past Spring Break, I thought it would be fun to have a "stay-a-cation" somewhere locally. In the past we've gone to San Antonio but this year with a 1,3,5, and a tween- we decided to stay at our neighborhood Hyatt. Shortly after I booked our room I ask Denyce how she would like to celebrate her 13th at the Hyatt with all her friends in a girl's spa sleepover? She was delighted and was looking forward to her birthday even more!!
For her birthday, we invited 5 girls + the birthday girl + little sister + the cool chaperon (that be me ) of course ;) We arrived an hour early and put up all our clothes and started setting up for the party.We waited for the girls to arrive at the hotel and greeted all the concerned mothers. The moms all asked how I would be able to handle all these crazy girls with no help and pregnant. I just laughed and said, no problem, if I can handle my bunch at home- this is a piece of cake. The girls then got ready for a swim. They all goofed around and dared each other to jump first since the water was starting to get kind of cold. As they were having a good time, I ordered us some pizza from Domino's. Figured everyone would be hungry after a swim. We then pigged out and later lit up her birthday cake and sung to her. Then the mom in me kicked in and told them to take showers one by one so they wouldn't get sick because of the swim. Don't need anyone sick under my account. During that time I set up our mini spa. I had different compartments for nail polish, face and hair. I made sure to bring tons of nail polish, polish remover, cotton balls, nail filers, clippers, etc. I also brought a lot of makeup and lotion and for the hair we brought a straighter, wand, crimper and blow dryer. The girls later got dressed in their pj's and started working on their makeovers. After we opened presents, her bf Jordyn sewed her some pj pants. She got a lot of goofy gifts especially gift cards. Just when I thought the night was done and we would all settle down for some zzz's. The girls thought it would be fun to run around the hotel playing elevator tag. Not exactly sure what were the rules even though they explained it to me. Supposedly, they would team up into two groups and each group was to start at different floors. The object of the game was to find the other team first. I seriously thought we were going to get kicked out. I kept reminding them that people are asleep and that they had to be quiet. So basically there went my idea of a good night's rest. I couldn't sleep until all the girls made it back to the room. They would get back to the room every 7 mins or so and would start laughing hysterically. Finally they got tired and went downstairs for some Starbucks. I went downstairs to check on them and snap a quick pic. Luckily they followed me back to the room to get some sleep. The next day we had a giant all you can eat breakfast and the girls gathered all their stuff. We stayed until each girl got picked up one by one. I really don't know who had more fun: birthday girl or birthday girl's little sister lol. I really enjoyed myself as well because there was no major clean up, didn't have to prepare dinner nor breakfast and the price! Only paid $55 including taxes for everyone's stay plus meal :) #HappyTeen #HappyMom ;)

| The invitation I made for my princess. |
 |
| I initially wanted pink and gold theme but of course she wanted to incorporate her all time favorite turquoise color. That's okay, that's why God gave me my youngest princess- so I can force my will onto her lol |
 |
| Made my baby girl her two layered cake to match and sprinkled it with edible gold glitter. |

And last but not least, a collage of her birthday week unfolding. Basically shopping, starbucks, favorite dinner, and a balloon surprise! Love her! <3
