Taya kind of had a bazillion "birthdays" this year because we were SO busy we had to spread it out.
We celebrated with my parents & my brother's family the Sunday before her birthday. Mimi & Baba got her a fashion design sketchpad with some Copic markers. She loved that. Justin's family got her a really fun game called "Doodle Heist."
We had her birthday dinner a day early so that Trek could be there for it. She wanted homemade stew, corn on the cob, rolls, & apples for her special dinner.
Then we opened up presents from Trek & I, the siblings, & from my friend Nancy.
Nancy got her a ton of new clothes & shoes. She loves buying my kids new wardrobes for their birthday. Taya loved it all. She especially love the mint colored dress with matching mint Converse sneakers. Her favorite gift was a Cinderella slipper necklace. It's beautiful.
Opa & Oma got her some fun things for her car, a "paintbrush" for her ipad for drawing & a new drawing glove.
We got her some new curtains for her room & the kids got her a record of "Into the Woods."
The next morning we did her birthday breakfast. She wanted croissants, sliced berries, sausage, & a birthday cupcake. I always smile when my kids really really want a good old European breakfast. We all miss Europe so much.
Her official 17th birthday party was in October, so stayed tuned for those pics. It was a Masquerade & it was a BLAST.
