Being 16

Yesterday, I turned 16. :) And it was probably one of the best birthdays ever!

First, on Saturday, I was going shopping with my mom... and I got my ears pierced!

It hurt a little at first, but the pain quickly went away.

After, she said we should stop by Yogurtland after. Well, I was in for the surprise of my life because when I walked in, my friends were there waiting for me! It was a surprise party! I couldn't stop smiling! :)

All of us together: my sisters, my cousin, and friends from choir. It was awesome! :)

Sunday, I woke up late, watched TV, and ate my favorite breakfast: Dutch Babies and sausage! Yum! :)

Then, before we left for my party, my sis snapped a few picks of me in my new flower crown she gave me. :) I love it!

Onto the party! We went over to my grandparents house with the rest of my dad's family and swam, had a BBQ, and lot's of fun!

Here is my cousin Anna modeling the awesome mustache glasses we got! :)

Jackie the cat!

Anna made me a special birthday chair! :)

Haha! :D

<3 It's my new screen saver on my phone :)

Nailed it! :D

More pretty photos...

Then, my most of my cousins and sisters lined up so I could throw water balloons at them!

I think they enjoyed it. :)

"Happy birthday to me! Happy birthday to me!"

Make a wish...

The cake was so good!

And that about wraps it up! I had a very special day and feel so loved by all my wonderful friends and family. They are the best! :)

Have a great day!
