Rylee Turns 14!

As a family, we celebrated Rylee's 14th birthday on Sunday, the day before.

I had sooo much going on before and after; Favorite Things party, Ward Christmas party, Ison FHE, R.S. Christmas dinner, going out-of-town and.... much , much more. Whew. She opened presents.

Jewelry was one of her favorite gifts.

We had a last-minute-use-what-you-have-on-hand "Dirt" cake.

Instead of OREOs I used brownies... it was ok, but I think I like the original version better.

I can't believe she's FOURTEEN!!!

I had been kind of prepping myself about having her turn 14 and being able to go to dances. But for some reason I was thrown off-guard when I realized that meant that she could go to the Stake S.N.D. THIS Saturday! What?!

I don't know exactly what I was shocked about, just couldn't believe that day was actually here I guess.

Next big milestone...... dating at 16!!! Oh boy.
