Yesterday was my daughter’s birthday. Since she turned 14, and it was the 14th of the month, it’s apparently called her golden birthday. I had never heard of this until I met my wife, but I guess it’s a thing. My wife planned a surprise party for her, having all her friends meet at Olive Garden (my daughter’s favorite restaurant). I brought her there under the impression it would just be a few family members. She was very much surprised. My daughter had been vocally worried that we were going to try to throw something together for her birthday at the last minute (because we hadn’t talked about it), when in reality it had been in the works for months!
Fist pump for successful surprise birthday parties, AND my favorite posts of the week!

Thank you for including the Fruclassity post, Travis. 14-years-old, eh? Are you ready for the nose-piercing days ahead?
No, Prudence, I’m not. LOL.

Thanks Laurie!
Happy (belated) Birthday to your daughter!
I call it a Magic Birthday. My son’s Magic Birthday was this year (9 on the 9th). For his Magic Birthday I took him to the Magic Kingdom! I did the same for my older son on his Magic Birthday. The best part? I paid cash for the whole thing! (I saved for four years.)
That’s an awesome golden (magic) birthday….even better, paid in full!!!! Thanks for sharing!
