Sweet 16

Bethany turned 16 last week and we finally all got together for a party at our house this weekend.  Bethany had to work on Saturday as she didn't request off in time.  Considering it was graduation weekend for the university, my sister was concerned that she wouldn't get out of work in time.  Thankfully she got done 30 minutes before party time.

As always, it is fun getting the family together.  Jim and I enjoyed hosting the party too! 

The girls had an amazing time showing off in front of the family and the older cousins.  Jared wore the them out with all the playing.  They didn't go to bed until 10 pm and Sawyer slept in until almost 9am!  Never have my girls slept past 7:30am (no matter what time they go to bed!).

The cake was so pretty to look at but as soon as Jared cut into it, I saw that it was over baked!  It was awful.  I guess all of the bakers in town were overwhelmed with graduation cakes.  I guess I got the short end of the stick.  I am thinking of calling the baker today and letting them know that the cake was horrible.  I don't normally complain to companies, but I spent a fortune on this cake and expected a wonderful tasting treat for the family to enjoy!  Ugh! 

Making her wish!  Happy Sweet 16 to a wonderful young woman!  We love you!
