Double Sweet 16 Party

Heather and her best friend met in Kindergarten and have been tight ever since.  Their birthdays are two days apart so we decided to have a combined Sweet 16 party.  It was really just an excuse to have all their friends over, though.

A shared cake

Austin's mom went to Costco and decided the baseball glove was better than dinosaurs or a rainbow.

Blowing out the candles

Austin missed one!

Austin LOVES Pop Tarts but his mom won't buy them so he got several boxes for his birthday.

Every girl loves jewelry and money for her birthday!

Heather LOVES Batman

She got this shirt and a necklace with the Batman logo on it.

29 teens attended the party

What a great group of friends my girls have!

Being silly

A rare quiet moment

I think they were digesting the sugar from that cake and the ice cream.

 

 

Perhaps the best part of the night was when a police cruiser pulled into the driveway.  The kids had been outside being rowdy.  We always warn the neighbors but you never know what people will do.  Some of the kids were a little nervous, but it turned out to be our good friend Matt, whose kids were at the party.  He was heading to an off-duty assignment a mile away so he stopped by to say hello. 

 

He also refused to shoot one of the boys who asked to be tased.  LOL

 

It was a great night of fun and laughter.  If my kids get many more friends I may need to get a bigger house.  Thank goodness they spent much of the night on the front lawn playing games.
