Happy Birthday Oakley

I can't believe this little baby is SIXTEEN!! She has had a count down going all summer long.  Her friends have been able to date for months and she was patiently waiting.  And now it is finally here! She had a big day yesterday.  It started at midnight when her best friend Lauren woke her up (I'm not sure she was actually asleep though) to tell her happy birthday and eat cake and ice cream.  She then had to get up early to teach dance camp.  Her and her friends planned a day date to go to lunch and Squealers (mini amusement park) and then she had an evening dance performance followed by a party at our house.



 Usually our kids only get 3 presents for their birthdays, a tradition passed down from my family.  But Ryan's family had a tradition that on their 16th birthday they got 16 presents.  So we went with that. So fun!
 I was sneaky and got a picture of her leaving on her first date! Eeeek! It looks like he was leaving her behind, but actually he was hurrying to open the door for her! He also brought her roses after her dance performance.  What a great kid!
 This is her and Brooklyn just before the dance performance.  It was a HOT day to dance out in the sun. They did great though and loved it like always!

 And then PARTY at our house afterwards.  We seriously had pushing 50 kids here.  She invited her school friends, her Rigby dance friends and her tour team dance friends.  We had a HOUSE FULL and love, love, loved it!! The night ended with a cake to the face thanks to her besties Lauren and Nayia. I got to do clean-up till about 1 am, but worth it for her to have a great day! We love this girl.  I will never forget the moment the doctors put her in my arms.  She changed my world! Happy Birthday sis!
