The colors were very pretty-red, white and black. I had a vanilla latte-and Michaela had mocha. Just one of the ways where we differ-though I do still love chocolate. Michaela had some of her closest friends around her as you can see in the picture below:

Middle Row: Michaela's sister Morgan, Michaela and Bella
Front row: (Two of my favorite little girls) Michaela's sister Tess and Rachel, Sarah's sister
Michaela got so many neat, and pretty gifts! Sarah C made her a homemade bowl out of an old record-she's going to teach us how to make them soon. It was SO cute. :) We played a very fun game where we all had to write down answers to questions on slips of paper, toss them together and Mrs. W read them aloud. Then we all had to guess who gave each answer-it was a blast! Even Mum, Mrs. W and Mrs. P (Michaela and Bella's moms, respectively) participated.
The whole evening was a blast-full of sugar, games, laughs, but best of all, great friends all celebrating Michaela's 16th birthday together. So here are a few pictures of the evening with accompanying captions. :)
The lovely birthday girl opening a gift
Isn't that smile precious? This is the huge project I've been working on for awhile-for Michaela to keep in her hope chest, on her bed, and use in her future home. :)
Two peas in a white pod. :) This picture was Michaela's idea. :) Isn't it cute?
I am SO getting this picture framed!!! I am so blessed and privileged to know and love Michaela! I thank the Lord He saw fit to bring each other into our lives for so many years and many more years to come. Love you!
