On Sunday, we celebrated the girls turning 13 with a fun day! They are officially teenagers!
As always, we started off with presents in the morning. This year, the girls got CELL PHONES!!! Yes, this has been on their wish list forever, but we held off until they were 13. Most of their friends already have phones, so now they feel like they are part of the "club". Ha!
A couple of the things I got them for their birthday didn't fit, so we returned those and did a little shopping. Of course, we had to stop off at Sephora for their free birthday gifts!
We grabbed lunch at Lazy Dog. Here they are on their new phones waiting for our table. :)
We relaxed in the afternoon for a little bit. Avery and I have been binging Gilmore Girls together. Then, we got ready for their birthday dinner out. They picked Gibson's since they had such a great dinner there with Matt when I was out of town. A few pictures before we headed out.
Morgan loves shrimp cocktail!
Avery does not! :) But she loves the bread they bring to the table.
Our waitress brought out a birthday dessert with warm chocolate chip cookies and ice cream.
And we let them take pictures of it for their friends with their new phones - ha! We don't allow Snapchat, but they have an app called Locket that they do with their friends that is similar but geared more towards middle schoolers.
We had a great dinner and are so happy to celebrate this milestone with our favorite girls!
Oh, the guy from The Kitchen on Food Network (and other shows), Jeff Mauro, was having a party with friends in the party room next to our table. I was surprised he would be in Oak Park, but turns out he used to have a deli in Westmont. Small world.
