Happy Sweet 16 Emma!!

My baby girl turned 16 today! I can't believe I have a 16 year old! Lots of stuff went on today... including 3 new additions to our household!! After running around all morning getting her balloons, bagging up her gifts, cleaning the house for the cleaning people (my favorite task!) and picking up Nicolas at 11 and taking his his classmate to her babysitter's (her mom is a friend of mine) and then coming back home to let the cleaning people in, I picked up Emma from school. We ate lunch and headed to Tempe to Club Tattoo for one of her gifts (not a Tattoo!!) and then waaaay up to Scottsdale for our new additions. Then made the trek back home to get Nicolas' homework done and to Karate. Then we went out to dinner and came home and Emma (finally) opened her birthday gifts! Phew! What a day! Here's our day in pictures:

Here's Emma's cake - her choice was a NY style cheesecake. Plain and simple

Here's her birthday presents, flowers, and balloons (that Max appreciated!!)

Here is part of her birthday present... OUCH! At least she has a cute little belly for it!

And our three new additions... Fluffy the hairless rat

Pongo the Dalmation Dumbo (in case you forgot... Pongo is the male dalmation's name from 101 Dalmations.)

And Mr Snuffles (his brother is Pongo)

Emma thanks you all for her gifts!! She had an awesome Sweet 16 Birthday!
