The Fun of Turning 13 Is in the Planning as Much as the Celebrating, Says Pretty Brainy’s ’Tween Fashion Blogger, Gianna
Dear Readers,
It is that time of the year again!
This week I am planning my birthday! 
I almost have more fun planning a birthday party than going to it! Although I am really excited to be planning this party for myself, I personally think it is not a party for me alone; it is a party for my guests and me!
You may remember many of my other birthday parties, such as my Coronation Party last year or the raft trip when I turned 8! For this year’s birthday party I have decided to take my two best friends, Bella, my Number #1 Cousin and BFF, and Shelby, my BFFITWAU (Best Friend Forever in the World and Universe!), to our mountain home in Granby.
I have planned loads of stuff for us to do when we get there! We are going to —
- Go swimming at Grand Lake Beach.
- Relax in the Hot Sulphur Springs Spa and Bath House.
- Play mini putt-putt golf.
- Go on an unforgettable hike around Monarch Lake.
- Just have fun together celebrating my 13th birthday!
I can almost guarantee my guests will go home speechless!
Last week I made my invitations, planned the menu for the trip, and put together a separate menu for my guests and me for the week of my birthday.
I will be shopping, packing and getting so excited I will probably start hyperventilating for My Birthday (the 29th)!!
I will tune you in with how everything goes!
