Fifteen and Counting

My daughter turned 15 last weekend.  She had several surprises in store for her day!  Her friends threw her a surprise party which was very nice!  Saturday, my two sisters came down from Elk Grove to help celebrate her day.  We took her to a spa where she had a facial, massage and Japanese hot tub soak.  We then took her to a hotel, went to a Japanese restaurant called Genji and then to see Hancock. The next day we went to breakfast, came home and she got the rest of her presents - which she doesn't want to open until her Dad comes back from the NEA/CTA convention.   She then got to go to the mall with her friends for the rest of the day.

Ya know, I couldn't tell if she was happy or liked her experiences over the weekend.  She had that 'I'm bored' look on her face and would smile every once in a while.  She also gave us 'spontaneous cuddles' like putting her head on our shoulders or a hug.  There was also the spontaneous statement, which was part of conversation and yet, not. My sisters and I teased her all weekend just to get a smile on her face.  I guess I was hoping she would be more animated.  She did laugh a lot during the movie.  My sisters assured me that Lele enjoyed herself and when I asked her, she said she did.  I anticipate she'll tell her friends all about it.  I guess this is along the lines of my asking my son what he did at TechCamp and he said 'nothing'.  Oh well....  I guess it's the age and I shouldn't be so wierded out about it.
