Sweet Sixteen

I think the girl had a big day. 

There were presents.

And, cake

And, flowers.

And, apparently, people sang Happy Birthday until she was sick of it. 

We took her out to dinner.  And, we made the day about her. 

That’s so important to a kid.  Just that focus on a special day.  It needs to be important and we’re so lucky that we’ve kept it important to her. 

Everybody be well.  Somehow, despite getting up 40 minutes early, I’ve ended up late.  Darn that extra time I spent sewing.

    Nope -- darn that extra time spent on useless things like bathing or taking out the garbage! You'll never regret the time you take to be creative, or to create special memories for your child. It goes SO fast, doesn't it? Happy Sweet Sixteen to Sydney! (And I thought this post was going to be about your new longarm machine...)

    It is important for adults to have one special day too ;). It looks like Sydney had a really great day (did you make the cake?) and got lots of good stuff. And those flowers are so gorgeous.
