March 7, 2013 - Wow! Where have 16 years gone??? I can't believe she is 16 already! She has become a beautiful young lady and we are so blessed to have her in our family!
We celebrated big this year! You have to right??? So...I started planning at Christmas time for this shindig! We did the Amazing Race! We had a blast! The kids had 11 stops to go to - everything from playing Happy Birthday on the piano to getting birthday cards signed at the mall! When they completed all of the tasks they came back to our house for pizza, cake and we watched the slide show of all of the pictures their drivers took of them that night! We had soooo much fun!
We actually did her parties the weekend before her birthday. We were busy the weekend after. We had lots of fun celebrating Sari's birthday (we always do)!!!
So the day of her birthday she woke up to balloon streamers covering her bedroom doorway. Her seminary teacher took donuts for breakfast :) When she came home Tyler and I had taped balloons to the garage door in the #16 - then...she got to go out on her first date :) Craig asked her out (properly) for her first date. He asked her about 2 weeks before her birthday. I helped her get dressed up nice and fix her hair and make up. She looked so pretty. She said she was nervous :) Craig opened her doors for her and showed her how a true gentleman would treat her. He took her to a nice dinner that night at a restaurant she had never been to before. Then...they were going to order dessert but before they could the waitress surprised them with a slice of cheesecake for them to share :) How sweet! And Craig gave her a sweet little heart necklace that has a key that fits inside the heart. He kept the key and told her that when she gets married he will give the key to her husband :) Awww...she felt so special! She was so excited when she got home that night :) She came in telling me all about her first date :) I'm glad she had so much fun!!!
