Celebrated the girl's real Sweet 16 today. Was the perfect low key, chill day. All she wanted was take out from her favorite place , ice cream cake and for the kids to come over in their Christmas pjs. Sounds divine right? Why can't every party be like that?
There were 7 of them total. Her closest pals. They were so generous with gifts for the girl. Just wow. We are blessed.
We sang to her and had our traditional Carvel ice cream cake. It was perfect. She was so happy. Now we go back to work/school and the 3 week countdown until Christmas vacation begins... We CAN do this! The girl and her parents here have a busy first week in December starting tomorrow. The Coach starts his late night meets this week, Charlotte has her SAT tutor, school softball starts Wednesday and her musical pit practice in between. I'm on UBER duty and I have my own after school obligations. She takes the SAT on Saturday. Praying...
Busy, busy. But all good, now that the big Sweet 16 is successfully complete, onto Christmas. We are so fortunate to have a long Christmas break this year. Such a bonus for me when hosting Christmas Eve. We normally work right up until Christmas Eve. Not this year. December 20th is our last day! WOO HOOOOOOO.
So we had a very quiet Thanksgiving Break. We stayed close to home, celebrated the girl's birthday and went to see WICKED. Other than that. RE-LAXED. All the decorating is done, all the shopping is done. Now I just need to hire a few elves to wrap :)
Hope you all had a nice Thanksgiving week. Can't believe we are into December already! What?
Have a great start to the week.
Love, Annie
