For Emilie's birthday, we tried to celebrate with some of our usual traditions. Emilie awoke to her siblings singing Happy Birthday and then she was served her breakfast in bed, which eventually made it to the kitchen so that she could eat with the family. Sarah had the girls help make a banner, which she stayed up late to finish, and then I snuck out early to find a fresh chocolate croissant. We added our favorite European cereal, fruit and juice.
I envisioned a fun Spanish dinner, maybe even with happy birthday sung to her in Spanish. Unfortunately we got in late and couldn't find an open restaurant. We ended up ordering pizza at midnight! I gave her a necklace, but our plan is to pick out a favorite item while traveling that will always remind her of celebrating her 14th birthday in Europe.

What a fun way to celebrate a birthday in Europe! Looks like you guys are having a blast!
Happy birthday, Emilie! And what a cute picture of the travelers, with Emilie in the center, wearing her crown. Love, Mom/Grandma
Happy birthday Emilie. It is getting pretty scary because you are become more of a teenager. When you turn 16 and can drive be sure you tell your parents to buy you a brand new car like I did for your mother
love, Grandpa
