Giovi is 4TEEN

I can't believe Giovi is FOURTEEN! Just yesterday she was my baby. But I am so proud how beautifully she's been blooming. She is kind, loving, and a good friend. I am so proud of the young adult she is becoming!

Since Giovanna turned ten she hasn’t been a fan of big parties anymore, so every year we play by ear. She usually gets excited after seeing me planning Bianca's parties. We usually go out for dinner or lunch at a restaurant of her choice. She always picks either Olive Garden or Cheesecake Factory.

Last Friday we had lunch at Cheesecake Factory. She had her favorite Louisiana pasta and opened some gifts. I also told her she could have her friends over for a movie and popcorn, or just to hang out. She liked the idea so we planned a movie night with friends on Saturday.

I decorated the clubhouse with all my Halloween decoration and I prepared a “concession stand” with popcorn, pizza, and chocolate bars. Mindy surprised Giovi with a Swig station. The kids had SO MUCH fun! 

The movie night turned out to be a little bigger than what we wanted, but Giovanna was happy to be around people who love her. The kids watched Hunted Mansion and we sang happy birthday and opened gifts.

Today, her actual birthday, I prepared a special dinner and the Britos came to sing happy birthday (again) and give Giovi a hug.

Happy birthday beautiful girl. We love celebrating you. I hope you enjoyed your day!
