15th Birthday (Patreon)

Our daughter turns 15 on Wednesday!!! Ahhh!!!! We celebrated her birthday over this weekend so we could do more family stuff together, instead of crunching it into an evening after my husband gets home from work. It makes me so happy to bring her so much joy! We got a free VR system, and she's been wanting one for ages. She was planning out getting it on her own. So when we got one for free with a promotion for our internet with the move, we knew exactly what we were gonna do! We also faked her out so good. I took the VR system out of the box it came in, filled that with gummy snacks. Put the VR itself in a shoebox, wrapped it, put it in another bigger box along with a blanket we already have for padding. She saw the empty box first and we joked about VR gummies. Then when she got to the actual VR she was like "is it hollow?" She legit had no idea it was real, lolol! Her reaction was so blah at first, then she was freaking out when we were like yeah, we got you a VR. She said her heart was racing. She couldn't stop freaking out. She's not an outwardly emotional person, but she was so outwardly happy. Then she hasn't even used it yet, because she wanted to play a new game with mom and dad. Which I love, even at a couple days away from 15, she still wants to spend time with us and do things with us, and only minimally complains about chores. Lol
