Happy 18th Birthday Christina!!!!!!!!!!
Wow! I can't believe its been 18 years already! Time goes by fast when your having fun!
Christina's friend Katelyn surprised her at school with all these balloons and a bunch of mini cupcakes.
We all decorated the backyard for her party. She had a Mardi Gras style party. So we hung lights and lots of Mardi Gras decorations. Thank goodness the rain stopped, but the only problem was that it was super windy. The decorations kept blowing away so we had to use lots and lots of tape.
The kids helped decorate as well. They were almost as excited for the party as Christina!
She had about 25 people show up, and they had a bonfire and roasted marshmallows and made smores.
Zachary was too shy to go out there, but not Caleb or Elektra.
They kept going out and roasting marshmallows and bringing them back in.
Heres a bunch of pics of her and her friends.
Since she had so much going on Saturday we waited to celebrate her birthday as a family the next day.
I made her a white layer cake with tons of Sprinkles. (Thats what she wanted!)
Make a wish!
Then she opened up all her presents. Her friend Shannon and of course Ben was over.
She got a lot of cool things!
She had a great party and a great day! I am so proud of her!
Cecilia and John had this posted in their New Mexico paper.
Happy Happy 18th Birthday Sweetie!!
Its been so windy here the last few days. The kids took advantage of it and flew kites.
We detailed the Durango over the weekend. Caleb loves to help, so he asked if he could vacuum.
He did a great job and got in all the corners.
The other day I made Taquitos. The kids LOVED them so much! So I put the recipe on my other blog:
Then Elektra used the salsa, sour cream and guacamole to 'paint'.
Food is fun to paint with!
Christina and her friends went to a Taylor Swift concert. They were in the second row!
Whooo! What a busy and fun week!
