Sweet Sixteen

Posted by Leslie on May 19th, 2008 | No Comments

My oldest turned 16 yesterday. Wow. I mean…wow. She surprised us by not wanting a huge party with all sorts of hoopla. In fact, she really didn’t say much about how to celebrate it. So I took it upon myself. I told her I was inviting the family over (grandparents, aunts and uncles) for a barbeque. What she didn’t know was that I also invited some of her friends, as well as neighbors and friends’ parents who had known her since she was little.

I can’t believe it. I pulled it off. She expected to see family but was surprised to see the others. Her friends and boyfriend actually kept the secret!

And, no, she didn’t get a car for her birthday! But I am buying her a Juicy Couture tote purse off eBay for her.

Next birthday in my house? My 40th!
