THE REAL, LIVE ACTUAL 16TH BIRTHDAY DAY

By the time September 20th rolled around, we'd already celebrated "Sweet 16" twice. Third times a charm! On the morning of the actual day, Cali woke up to 16 candles (fire hazard) on a muffin!

All the kids were excited! After all, who doesn't love a good cinnamon crunch muffin?!

Calz opened her presents: shirt, sandals, a bag of miniature Snickers (I didn't even sneak one), shoes for Homecoming, and a new palette of makeup.



I'm not sure how it happened: I am only 25 years old and have a 16 year old. Life is crazy. Thanks for being such a terrific daughter, Cali. You are such a blessing in our lives!
