L has been preparing all week and tonight was the night of her Sweet 16/Christmas in July party.
The basement looked great!
The people at Costco thought we were a little strange when we asked for a Christmas-themed birthday cake, but look how cute it turned out!
Eight of L's friends arrived by 5:30 p.m. and Andy and I drove them to Yorktown Mall where they chose ceramics to paint. Every time we stopped back in to check on them they were intently painting.
L's friend, A, did a fantastic job on an "N" for her mom. We got the kids to leave the mall around 8:15 p.m. and Andy ordered pizza while driving so it was ready by time we got home.
After pizza, we had the kids sing "Happy Birthday" and cut the cake. L was a little scared of the "blow torch" lighter I was using to light her 16 candles.
All lit! Make a wish, L.
L and her friends. They're a really nice group of kids. They played some games downstairs before everyone left around 10:30. L has to be at work at 7 a.m. tomorrow. She was hoping to have a sleepover, but I said there's no way that would work. L and I drove her friends, A and T, home. On the way home L said, "Well that was a fun night. Thanks." Aww!
