Teenage Days with Annie Rose

The food.

The gifts.

The cake.

Miss Annie turned 13 in September!

She declined inviting friends and their families over, so we had a simple celebration at home with just us. And dirt dessert cake (that melted really fast) plus her chosen menu of Bacon Avocado Quesadillas, Mozzarella Ranch Bread, and Caesar Chicken Potato Salad.

She has been spending her Saturdays getting up in the wee hours baking for farmers market, sitting & selling until noon, and napping the rest of the day away.

The month of September also presented a short volleyball season... 

a first for Annie and a first for the homeschool group. 

She had a few practices and two games... 

lots of fun and new friends.

Then to top off fun days, we were able to spend a sunny crisp fall afternoon riding horses at our neighbors. Something Annie has wanted to do since she was introduced to equine at another friend's ranch on our trip west a couple years ago.

 A happy start to her teen years for our oldest girl!
