SWEET 16

This sweet 16 year old began her birthday with breakfast in bed. Homemade banana nut muffins with strawberries and OJ 

(lots of fruit;)

Then just the two of us went for a little birthday bike ride. I had so much fun just being with her!

We kinda just took it easy for the day, but the girls and I did take her to lunch. She wanted to try a place we hadn't been to yet called Mad Greens. It was fun to try, but nothing spectacular.

We came home and got the table decorated for dinner. She wanted homemade Taquitos just like last year.

Karsyn and Emmrey put together a little treasure hunt for her to find her gift from them. It was so cute how much effort they put into it, sending her all over the house. She finally found it in the shower.

Another season of Little House on the Prairie. Bailee LOVES this show! I admit, I enjoy it myself. You're never too old for a good classic:)

According to Bailee, she didn't "want" anything nor did she really "NEED" anything , but she did have her eye on a few new clothes.  So that is pretty much what she got.

Including a couple of new dresses from 

Grampa Wayne & Gramma Cheryl.

She asked for Strawberry Shortcake for her treat (again).

And asked that we all play a game on the deck to round out the day.

It was a Sweet 16 for one of the sweetest girls we know! Hope all her wishes come true this year, she certainly deserves it:) 

Love you Bay Bug!!

The main reason we kept the birthday somewhat low key is that Bailee wanted it that way, but the other is that we were leaving 2 days later for our Yellowstone trip and we had bought tickets to see Mary Poppins as a surprise. Every time we are in West Yellowstone, Bailee says "we should go see a show there (the Playmill), that would be so fun!" So we decided that would be a great little extension to her sweet day. She was THRILLED!
