Brenna’s 13th birthday was, like so many other things, hampered by Covid. She very much wanted to have a big party with all her friends, but we were still under strict Covid restrictions that would only allow for a limit of three households indoors with a maximum of seven people. Looking back we were really fortunate that her birthday fell during that time. It wasn’t long before the restriction were reapplied and we wouldn’t have been able to have even the little gathering that we did do.
Despite the limitations, we wanted to give her something special to mark her passage into her teenage years. We used a creative interpretation of the rules and hoped that none of our neighbors took notice of the infraction and turned us in! We counted Caitlin as part of our household, since she had technically been part of our social bubble through the previous weeks thanks to our Scotland getaway. She invited two other friends and they had a fun celebration at home. The cupcakes, pizza, and popcorn were free flowing. There was a homegrown game of jeopardy that was all about the birthday girl and a role-play murder mystery that carried on for hours. The girls stayed over and spent the entire night doing makeup and tiktok dances. She’s got a great group of girls here and we were thankful to have the opportunity to celebrate with them.
