Today my sweet little girl ( ok she is not a little girlbut my baby she will always be) has turned 16!
sometimes it's hard for me to believe that she
is only 16. she has a maturity about her that I never had at her age and I am thankful for that! she also amazes me with her love for the Lord. she has great
loving friends and she is my chick flick buddy!
and she has dreams that I know she will achieve on her own terms.
today she is celebrating the way she wanted to we are going to make what she wants for dinner one of her favorite dishes is shrimp kabobs and then
of course instead of a birthday cake she had me surprise her so I got 4 really great gourmet Cupcakes and we placed 16 candles on it! ( she did not want us to sing Happy Birthday she says she is to old for it I informed her it is tradition in our little family so we sang it rather fast! and her gift she wanted from us is an airline ticket to visit a friend in Texas next month.
She took a variety of Cheese Cake slices to her girls
small group tonight.
she got her driver's permit and will be taking the behind the wheel class so she can get her license before the summers end( part of me is ready for that the other not so sure!)
the photo down below is her dream car that she says one day her dad and I must buy for her!
I keep telling her none of us had a brand new car at 16! ( I still have never purchased my own car!) but someday she will get this car for whatever she is determined about she usually finds a way to achieve it one way or another.
anyway , here is wishing my little girlokay, my beautiful 16 year old daughter a very happy sweet 16th birthday.
