The kids turned 16!! How in the world did that happen? Times goes by so fast, but it's been a blast this far. We're so fortunate!
The day started with balloons. Lots and lots of balloons.
Before:
During:
And after:
Now that was a lot of balloons! Dax and I used little hand held pumps to blow them all up, but our fingers were sore for days afterwards from tieing all those knots.
We let the kids skip school that day so we could spend it having fun. We took them to do a little shopping, then to a favorite Chinese food buffet.
Then we followed that up with a hockey game to see the Texas Stars play. It was great. Our seats were close to where the players came out of the locker rooms so the kids got to give them high fives. They loved it!!
It was teddy bear day, so after the first goal by the home team everyone throws stuffed animals out into the ice. They are gathered up to be donated to charities for children. They collected over 3,000 animals!! Awesome!
Then they had the kids names on the jumbo-tron announcing their birthday. They thought that was pretty cool too.
All in all it was a great day.

Happy (late) birthday to your kiddos! 16? Wow! I can't even imagine what it will be like to have 4 16 year olds! Of course, 6 years ago I couldn't imagine what it would be like to have 1st graders and now here we are! Time flies! Glad to see you all had a great day. I love that you let them skip school to spend the day together. Memories!
