It was an exciting day. Emi’s big 13th and Elia’s 6th. Everyone who meant anything was going to be there; the grandparents, the aunts and uncles, and a few friends. Only Elia’s kobemum and kobesister were missing from the equation. Amanda tried not to let that bother her. It was a big day for the girls, especially Emi, and she wanted it to be absolutely perfect. Nothing was going to ruin this day, and with luck, Elia wouldn’t notice these two important people in her life missing. The girls looked great. Emilia was growing up into such a lovely teenager. Kobe, Amanda couldn’t believe they had a teenager. A 13-year-old. She looked so beautiful in the dress she’d picked out. The purple complimented her well, and the little heels she wore nearly didn’t pass the daddy test, but in the end Niels had been okay with them. Elia was so adorable in her matching purple dress. She’d insisted on matching her sister, and while Amanda and Niels had tried convincing her to wear another colour, Emi said she didn’t mind. Teun and Rosa’s place had been decorated in pink and black. The Paris theme had been Emi’s idea, and Amanda and Niels couldn’t have been happier with the decision. The cake was incredible, the desserts looked delicious and Amanda was sure the pink soda would be appreciated by the kids. Amanda also knew that Emi hoped to meet new friends - friends of friends - so she was nervous for her little girl… teenage girl rather.
Amanda would have to get used to that. “I feel old suddenly,” she said to Niels, chuckling. “You’re not old. Only the kids are getting old.” Niels grinned and pressed a soft kiss against her forehead. “So… let’s get this party started.”
