Our Girl turned the
big 16 today !!!!!!!
I honestly can't
believe that my little Bebe is an sixteener now !!!
We had celebrated big
time in September at Trent with a huge party at the cottage with 20 of her
friends for the weekend so this celebration last night was a little more low
key :)
We had Her BF Simon
over after school and for the first time ever they were allowed to hang out in
the basement alonetogether ( I was home working ) . This in and of itself is a big
change as before 16 it is family spaces only . We have been very very strict on
our rules
Then appetizer of
homemade salsa and frozen virgin piƱa colada for
all and Didi joined us and brought her a nice birthday bag with her fave :
money for jeans and candy !
Dinner was Shepard
pie and Cesar salad and then chocolate pizza for a late dessert .
Beauty was so cute at
dinner and sweet and I loved seeing her sweet little conversations and
personality blossom .
Then the big finale
Simon got to sleep over !! She tucked him in the basement and was allowed at
6am to go wake him . Then go cuddle in her bed with him until 6:30am when we
came in with the birthday basket of little stuff for her . It was a shock to
see two people in her bed but very adorable and also set a milestone of turning
16 in our house ( official dating age !! Even though they have dated a full
year !! ) hahah . Basket c I guess !
A few things this
year to remark :
Beauty has really
matured like a lot
Her grade point
average went up by 10 percent this semester and she is has honors on many
subjects !
She feel in love with
chimpanzees and ourangatangs this year
She has a little
sister in Tanzania now that we are sponsoring for 3 yrs for vaccines and
education . Nemai is very important to her and we spent a lot of time together
she and I researching this and bonding over serving those in need
She has been dating
Simon for a year now and they are really a great and loving couple
She is much much much
closer to me than a year ago and shows it a lot more consistently ( was a hard
3 yrs !! ) it feels so good when she shows me how much she cares
Her dad is still her
hero and her number 1 ever !!
She is in competitive
hip hop different studio and new level with stronger team . Also solo competitor for lyrical contemporary !!!!
She is loving her new
program at CSA
She is all around a
super girl with a big heart and tons of light inside of her and beauty
We love you so much
