A Really Sweet Sixteen!

Oh...to be sixteen!
Driving away all by herself for the first time!
Silly girl...signed up to work on her birthday!
 
 
While she was at work, a few of her sweet friends decorated her car!
When she came out...this is what she found!
 
  
And when she got home...this is the mess we found!
We should have known that the inside of her car would match the inside of her room.
 
 
 
  
 
Whew! What a big day!
The DMV, a lunch date, red velvet cup cakes, the bank, the shoe store, work, making her brothers help her clean out her car,then driving them around the neighborhood and finally...off to volleyball practice!
The life of a sixteen year old.
It makes me tired!

Enjoy your weekend!
We have a huge party to pull off!
Can you say stressed?
Today is alphbe-Thursday! R is for Really Sweet Sixteen! I think that may be cheating a bit!
Come on over and join the fun.

  13. She's adorable! I remember my first drive away from my parents like it was yesterday...um only it's more like 39 years ago. Boy how time flies. I also remember when our daughter got her license. All we saw of her after that were her tailights going down the road.~Ames

  14. I think the fact they start driving is stress enough without all the rest!

    What a busy and fun day for her.

    She is really a lovely girl!

    I can hear the smile in your writing.

    Thanks for sharing her with us...and a happy belated birthday to your lovely girl!

    A+
