I can't believe Mia is 14 years old! This girl is so amazing. She is kind-hearted, generous, incredibly smart, hard-working, and such a loyal friend. She makes this world better.

Mia's birthday actually fell on a Friday this year which was nice. It was the last day of school before Thanksgiving break. Grandpops and Grandma Jan sent beautiful flowers to wish her a happy birthday.
Granna stopped by in the afternoon to give her a hug and drop off a gift. Papa wasn't able to come since he was recovering from knee surgery at home. Ryan and I had bought lots of fun balloons to decorate downstairs, and I totally forgot to get a picture! Mia invited several friends to celebrate with her that evening. We were so glad that Rylie, Eliana, Judson, Faith, Yabsera, and Layne were able to come.
The kids had a lot of fun hanging out together while Ryan made smashburgers for everyone to enjoy. They were so good! Then we were able to gather round and sing happy birthday before she blew out the candles on her Oreo ice cream cake (also so good!).
After that the kids went downstairs to have a Mario Kart tournament which sounded like a lot of fun. While they were doing that, Ryan and I set up the popcorn bar upstairs. They were pretty excited about this! There were so many toppings to choose from: 5 flavors of seasoning, mini M&M's, regular Oreo's (whole or crushed), peanut butter pie Oreo's (whole or crushed), Twizzler bites, lemonheads, yogurt strawberry bites, Mike & Ike's, mini marshmallows, gummy bears, chocolate chips, butterscotch chips, raisins, and jelly beans.
We then took all this downstairs so they could refill and eat more candy as they pleased while they watched Mitchells versus Machines movie which they all liked. They were able to hang out and play card games for a little while after that until parents came to pick the kids up. It was such a fun night celebrating our favorite 14 year old!
