Rebekah turned 13 today. We had her birthday dinner last night because the rest of this weekend is filled with wedding festivities for a close family friend. But today is the actual day that we welcome the third teenager into our household.
She received the laptop a couple months ago as kind of a combined gift that she negotiated - covers all her gift occasions for the year.
Of course, we wouldn't want to leave her completely gift free on her 13th birthday, so we got her some important things, like candy ...
and gum.
And her siblings gave her some of their special toys, too. See how proud Elijah is of the gift he gave her?
And, we have a tradition for our kids' 13th birthday to ask for a note of encouragement, advice, scripture, etc for the young lady (or man as the case may be) from many of the special people in their lives. I put the notes in an album, so they can keep it with them throughout their lives. Here are the girls reading Rebekah's album.
Happy Birthday, Rebekah!
