~All the Autumn's Joys~ THAT Number

 Yesterday the table was set . . .

the gifts were opened . . .

and a milestone was celebrated.

For better or for worse. . . 

 the Oldest turned 13.

See this guy here?

Hands down, this boy has been the greatest Autumn gift and joy I've ever been given.

(of course I say that now- ask me in three years when he wants my car keys!)

I love you Mr. Teen-

and while you enjoy being a source of angst for this mama

I'll enjoy being a source of embarrassment for you! ;)

Happy Thirteenth!

Cheers!
