Alli Sweet 16
This weekend was Alli's 16th birthday - no car, but a sweet 16 anyway. Celebrations started with a birthday donut before school:

Even the school knew it was an important day:
Beautiful flowers from the Shaffers were waiting for Alli after school:

Next was time to open some presents:



Dinner out at Pearl Lian, with BFF Theresa:
For the party, we got the most amazing Harry Potter broomstick cake:

Then it was time for school buddies to come over for the big party in the basement:

Part of the fun was a Yankee gift swap, and the best was the gift Alli chose: fresh squid!
Such a wonderful day, and such a wonderful daughter!
