Birthday's are not a big deal you say?

A couple weeks ago, my oldest daughter turned 17. 

The week before she had stated to me that birthday's were not a big deal so I took that as my cue to make it a big deal! 

I called a couple of people and they helped me out.

 They came early on her birthday morning and surprised her by waking her up. 

We snuck upstairs, (well as quietly as you can with 7 brothers, 6 girls, 1 dad and 1 mom!)  yelled HAPPY BIRTHDAY, sprayed silly string and placed an air horn in her ear. 

(I will not post pictures of that ordeal because she might not like pictures of her in her jammies)

However...

I did want to share a little bit of the beauty of friends and memories!  

She was SO surprised and I doubt she will say birthday's are not a big deal anymore!  

Out to lunch at Pizza Ranch

Friends in Christ are friends forever!

We ALL enjoyed your special day and you are special to us!!

We love you!
