Emily's Sweet 16

On July 11, Emily turned 16.  She got the traditional breakfast in bed. 

After breakfast she opened her presents.  She was hoping for a car, but she got an i phone instead.  She will have to use Jeff's truck for now.

 We did cake and ice cream later that night with Grandpa and Annabell.  Annabell's birthday is on the 10th so we always celebrate the two together.  Emily decided she wanted oreo cheesecake instead of normal cake.

 Later that night we went to the drive-in movies for her birthday.  This is the first time we have ever been.  It was a lot of fun.  It is hard to believe Emily is 16.  It's crazy to think she is old enough to drive and date.  I'm glad she isn't really into boys yet.

We decided it would be fun to throw her a "Sweet" 16 party.  She didn't like the idea as well so we had to compromise some.  I got to make "sweet" treats, but she got to do a video scavenger hunt for the main part of the party.  I think everyone had a good time.

Emily was able to take her drivers test the week after she turned 16.  She was really nervous about passing, but she got it on her first try.  We all love Emily and are so thankful she is a part of our family!
