Leah’s 13th birthday party
Leah's party was supposed to be the weekend after her birthday in September, but she turned up Covid positive the day before. So, we celebrated on her 13 plus 1 month birthday instead.

For this birthday, Leah requested a painting party. Jen found online tutorials and allowed Leah's friends to pick the artwork they each wanted to create.

Molly was just as excited as Leah about the painting party. Molly has been taking Art electives in school for many years.

After a couple hours, we took a break for some cake.
There were gifts.

Our artists were loving their painting time so much that we extended the party another 30 minutes. A group photo (minus 1) of the finished artwork.
