Sweet Sixteen Katherine

Celebrating Katherine twice this month! First b-day celebration was with Mamaw and Emily on FaceTime. We had flower themed chocolate cupcakes with cream cheese icing. Mamaw brought the bee candies for me to use. They turned out cute. I had plans to make different kinds of flowers for each one, but cream cheese icing is just too soft for most everything.
Happy birthday (early)

She was so excited to get a 60 oz. jar of M&M's! It wa son her birthday list, but she didn't expect to get them.
cupcakes and gelato
Mamaw enjoyed seeing the olive trees at Katherine's tennis. They are not even close to being ripe yet.

AWE! Shadow and Lauren
Katherine made her birthday sign with a picture from each year of her life. So fun to look back at how she ahs grown and changed (and in some cases stayed the same)

Her friends, Nicole and Martina, came...and Silas and Ruthie, too!

Happy birthday!
The video of this is hilarious! I didn't know that I bought trick candles. No Sparks. No Anything. Just candles that WOULD NOT blow out. I finally grabbed a bowl of water and chopsticks (because the candles had burned too low at that point) and put them in the bowl. It was quite funny.
YUM
Nicole and Martina
James couldn't make it to the party but stopped by later for a piece of cake and to give her a present
