She's Beautiful-
and she's mine. (well, ours-on loan anyway)
Meshayla turned 16 back in September. Sixteenth birthdays seem like quite a milestone, and it's always fun to do something special.
Our convention is in September, and also I was leaving on my trip in September and Morgen and Meshayla were both going to stay with their older sister in Sidney while I was gone and somehow we needed to squeeze a birthday celebration into the month too. When I found out that all the kids were going to be able to come to York this year along with the advantage of it being a holiday on Monday after, we started making plans for a surprise party for Meshayla on Sunday night.
I might add that it's very hard to pull a surprise off in this family--too many people, SOMETHING or SOMEONE always slips up.
Well, this is true except when you intend for everyone to know something and assume that they do, then SOMEONE DIDN'T find out when they were suppose to. (Note--don't ever assume)
Anyway, amazingly no one let it slip, and we pulled off the surprise party. Amazing. As was the cake that Lynisha made and brought with her, leaving it here at the house on their way to York.
Meshayla and her "twin-cousin" Rebecca have celebrated their birthdays together since they were 3 years old. This year Rebecca is living in AZ, and so she wasn't here on their birthdays.
When she came back on her school break the girls got to spend some time together, and took a whole bunch of pictures of the two of them (with help from Morgen.)
Here's a few of my favorites they took.
To celebrate their birthday together, my sis and I took the girls on a girls day out to shop & eat before Rebecca went back to AZ
Happy happy 16th year to both of you!
