Gwen's 14th birthday


















 

Gwen turned 14!  We surprised her with some finishing touches in her room, particularly a nightstand and a chair, something she'd been begging for a while.  She loves her chair for reading and lounging with her friends.  
I always love the gifts her siblings come up with.  Ned made Gwen a gift and Nyle serenaded her with a song on the piano.  Her friend Emma, who's pretty much like family, joined in the evening celebration as well. 
Some great things about 14-year-old Gwen:
  • She has adjusted very well to in-person Middle School.  She performs so well, school is really something she's good at.  
  • She continues to enjoy music- singing in choir and playing the piano and was recently invited to lead the music in Sacrament meeting. 
  • She loves hanging out with her 3 best friends--They're often at our house and Zach loves to call them "squirrelys"  
  • She's good at setting goals and has set such goals as helping me with this blog, completing her music theory books, and scoring about 95% in all of her classes.
