Well, it's official, Kelsey is now a teen. The day after we arrived home from our unplanned vacation was Kelsey's 13th birthday. Her main present that we have been working on for a few weeks is her room. She wanted a mural painted on her wall with new bedding. She now has a forest theme (just like in the movie Twilight). More pictures to come as we didn't have time to finish it yet. She had already invited a friend over for a dinner party prior to leaving so I was rushed to get everything ready after we got home. I had to change a few things (like I had not ordered a cake that she wanted and it was to late to order one). I think it turned out pretty well considering. My table centerpiece was simple...
And the menu was changed due to I had not been grocery shopping and had to rush. Entree was Forks famous Chicken Alfredo with Bella's buttery bread, Salad was the Voltori venomous salad, refreshment was Alice's Appletini, and for dessert Carlisle's charming chocolate cake with Alaskan ice cream.

After dinner I had a few games planned. We played who said it with quotes from the books, Twilight Trivia, and then I had planned a Twilight treasure hunt and made up clues from the books that sent them all over searching for their treasure.
I made goody bags with things related to the Twilight series they found at the end of the clues.
I made bookmarks, a bottle of blood, a bag of chocolate lambs I labeled "Stupid lamb", a box of band aids from the office of Dr. Cullen that read.."For your safety please be sure all cuts and open sores are covered with a band aid", eclipse gum, bracelets, pins, key chain, and Twilight sweethearts. They also got a t-shirt they later designed themselves. They turned out really cute.
Kelsey did get a few surprises she didn't know about...
You can never have to much Twilight when you are a true fan.
Thank you everyone who called and sent cards.
After presents was time for cake! Which I have to say for having no planning turned out okay.
Kelsey liked it which was what was most important. Of course now she is in love with the werewolf!
