Sweet Sixteen!

What a SWEET day celebrating Taylor today! 

early morning doughnut run 

7 year old Elijah who made Taylor a heart and a cookie out of beads for his birthday 

Taylor's hilarious friend Joseph who gave him a bike basket and decor for his bike 

  

We loved having Jamie Bernard back to stoke up his woodburning fire for pizzas for the party 

(We had him here for Anna's 16th birthday too!) 

Such a fun night! (The benches that Abba made with Anna and Taylor were a perfect fit!) 

 

'Twas the night before Taylor's birthday....

'Twas the night before Taylor's birthday........and there is a Cookie Monster cake and 16 balloons all ready to celebrate Taylor's sweet 16 tomorrow! 

Oreos in the middle layer of the two 9" cakes 

blue icing! 

Cookie Monster cake requested by Taylor :) 

Anna gave him the special touch with the cookie crumbs around his mouth. :) 

more Oreos on the side because.... why not? 

Promposal

 

Anna brought cake pops to Sarah today for a fun "promposal" as 8 girls are all celebrating their own senior prom together on Sunday night since theirs was cancelled. I love how these friends continue to make lemonade out of lemons. 

Then and Now

This girl knows how to soak up and savor life....

Early Evening Sun

The early evening sunshine is my FAVORITE pouring into the west side of our house. 

Soaking it up right now! 

our littlest graduate

 

class of 2021! 

Poppy has sat through so many classes with Anna this year that we thought she needed a graduation hat too....As usual, she looks thrilled at our thoughtfulness. 

Teacher Appreciation

 In lieu of our annual teacher brunch, the chalk fairies were at it again today for some of Anna's teachers.... So grateful for their hard work and amazing investment in such a crazy year...
