Sweet 16

 Happy 16th Birthday, Mariana!

She wanted a big party so we rented our neighborhood clubhouse/pool Friday night. Her friend from church who just moved celebrated her 15th birthday a few days before and was coming back for the party, so we decided to make it a joint celebration (they have most of the same friends anyway!) which made it even sweeter.

Of course...

A few friends slept over, and when they finally woke (they stayed up to sing to her when she actually turned 16 at 4:13am!) we had pancakes and opened family gifts.

We have an appointment to get her license next week, and she can hardly wait. Austin, myself and Allia are looking forward to it too because she is a very social 16 and likes to go to everything, especially at church!

We are so thankful for our sweet Mariana. May God bless her this coming year (and guardian angel please keep a good eye on her!).
