Jojo’s Birthday By: Coryn



For Jojo’s 13th birthday, August 25th, we had homemade french toast for breakfast, with ice cream on top. Yum! After breakfast cleanup, we all sat down in the living room and watched Jojo open her presents. She got two dresses and two shirts from our grandma, a gift card for Old Navy from her godmother, 3 books, a sketchbook, and paint pens from her parents, birthday money from her great grandma (which she used to buy roller blades), and nail polish from me, her little sister!

After presents, all four girls went to roller blade in the recreational area of the camp where we are staying. After rollerblading for an hour and painting our nails, we drove to Rock & Bowl in Lafayette, and bowled there for an hour. We almost finished two games, one which Jojo won, and the other which our dad won. For lunch, we had pizza at Deano’s, because of a recommendation from our friend Drew. For dessert we tried fried oreos. The cookies are fried in dough, drizzled with chocolate and caramel. They were delicious!
After lunch we stopped at the main library in Lafayette and looked around. It was a huge library!! Before going back home we visited Saint John the Evangelist Cathedral. It was a very beautiful and super super tall! Back at home we had a dinner of mashed potatoes and meatloaf. For dessert we had traditional (a birthday tradition for Jojo and I’s birthdays) red velvet cakeballs, with almond bark icing, and ice cream on the side.Yum! We are so blessed to have Josephine Theresa as part of our missionary family!!! J
