SIXTEENTH BIRTHDAY RECAP

#3 is 16!!

I just cannot believe it.

We had a day full of birthday celebration.

And that bright pink ribbon in my last post caused this reaction...

Here is a birthday recap:

Monday night I took one last picture of her being 15 right before she went to bed......

and also got a great picture of Bubbles!

She had her birthday outfit all laid out.

Dad got up at 5:30 to make her breakfast.

She came downstairs around 6:00.

She ate breakfast with sleepy eyes, her tiara...

and an extremely tired 23 year old!

She then was ready to go.

While she was gone I whipped up a little birthday dessert,

an Italian Cream Cake.

Yes, from scratch!

Go ME!!

#1 helped me get some other things done...

After school, I took a few pictures while we waited for Art and Brooke  to get home.

I think she needs to wear this color more often.

It makes her eyes look even bluer than they are.

(I promise I didn't touch them up.)

 AND

then came present time.

She opened a few things first before she picked up the little box with the fuchsia bow.

She thought it was jewelry......

she was confused....

but then realized what she was holding in her hand....

 and she made a cry face...

and she squealed and jumped a little  a lot.

  After that, we had plans to go out to eat at another downtown restaurant we have been wanting to try, 

Bidamanda.

(I am not a fan.)

Then we had to head back home for CAKE!

She made a wish, blew out her candles

and

her birthday day was officially over.

  She goes for her driving test tomorrow.

Her dad is taking her.

That is his job because I am way too nervous about it and I would make her a nervous wreck.

She doesn't want me there.

My feelings are not hurt.

Once she gets her license, the big debate will begin..........

when does she get to start driving to school?  

If it were up to me.....

next year.

The End.

Period.
