Senior Pictures

So today we decided to set out to take pictures for Tori. We went to Briar's Chapel and I made her become one with nature!! We were able to get some really good pictures and got some funny "model" pictures as Tori calls it.


Here she is being really serious!!

Sweet 16!!




The day finally came! Tori turned 16 and we celebrated with Nana and Papa and Zach by surprising her with balloons, flowers and dinner at her favorite steak restaurant. Daddy took her on the following Friday to get her license and she passed the test!!?!! Tori wanted a coach purse for her birthday and picked it out the following weekend. We then thought of many different ways to celebrate her birthday with her friends. We decided a true sweet sixteen party with booking a venue was just more than we wanted to spend. So we decided to rent a 15 passenger van and take 8 teenagers to Williamsburg VA. to Busch Gardens.

What a day!! The kids arrived at my house at 6:30am. Everyone was on time, very impressed!! Then the journey began. After a 4 hour drive there, everyone was ready for a good time. We stayed all day, stopped for dinner on the way home and safely returned at 3am. I really think I'm quickly approaching the phrase, "I'm getting too old for this!!"

It was great though, everyone behaved, no injuries, and I did bring them back home.
