Rylie's 14th Birthday

Our daughter was born in the summer so when she celebrates her birthday, we usually go on vacation.  We stopped having birthday parties ever since she started school and does traveling as a family instead.  This year however, was  different.  Due to   school expenses, we decided to just celebrate her 14th birthday at home.
I am glad that she is  so understanding about the situation.  Although we did not go to a major  vacation this year, we did some traveling  because of her history bowl competition and  educational field trip.  Those activities really dented our finances that's why we had to adjust our travel plans.  We're also planning to go visit my family next year so that's another big expense that we are trying to save up for.
Her birthday wish is to have her own sewing machine.  She has been watching  sewing tutorials on  YouTube so that's what we got for her.  She wants to  sew her own dress.  She reminded me of my youth, I was so interested in tailoring when I was in high school.  Unfortunately, I couldn't take dress making course because I couldn't afford the materials needed.  I went to  a vocational high school so when we're on our junior year, we had to pick a major which were  food trades and dressmaking for girls.  I didn't like baking but I took it since  our projects are done by group so it's affordable  since  all of us in the class contributes.  I think if I could have afford dressmaking, I would have definitely chose it,  it would have been better.  I never liked the food trade class, even now I don't like baking at all.
Her brother  got her some cosmetics and she was  very happy about it.

Ice cream cake completed the celebration.  Another year  has turned for this sweet lady.   She's excited to start her high school experience at Madonna High School.  

We wish good health Anak and good luck on your  high school journey this year.  May God always lookout for your safety  when you are not at home.  We love you.

  1. Happy Birthday to Rylie! I wish I knew how to sew. I tried and nearly sewed up my fingers, so I gave up.

  5. Happy Birthday to your daughter. I hope she enjoys her sewing machine. I've had one and used it a few times. Sewing isn't my favorite thing to do but I have made a few things in the past. I keep it around just in case I need it now.
