Do They Ever Stop Growing?

October 18th, 2009

My daughter’s sixteenth birthday is in a few months. It’s hard to believe she’s so close to being an adult. In all honesty, I’m not looking forward to her eighteenth birthday. It’s not that I’m not proud of her; it’s just hard seeing my baby growing up. She’s grown into a respectful, honest, kind and sweet young lady. It’s hard planning for her sixteenth birthday on a tight budget. I need to check around for prices on party favors. I wish I could rewind the time to her being a little girl again. It amazes me how fast time flies in life, where’s a time traveler when you need one.

She’s crazy about polka dots, dogs, and Avril Lavigne. I’m trying to combine all of them together to create the perfect party themes for her sweet sixteen. I need to buy party favors, food, and birthday gifts for her. I’m not sure what I’m going to buy her this year, but it has to be special. She might like these Hollywood party favors I found online. I found a company that offers some creative party ideas for just about any party.  The party favors I found are Hollywood squares just like the ones in California for the stars. I think it’ll be a perfect party for a sweet sixteen, but I’ll have to save money to afford her birthday surprise.

For her birthday I’d like to set up tables with party food. I’m not sure if I’m going to bake her cake or have someone else bake her cake. I’d like to decorate her cake with pink and blue polka dots with small dogs in each dot. I’m sure it’ll be an interesting cake for any cake decorator. Chances are they won’t decorate a cake like this again. Just like the cake my daughter is original too. For decorations I’d like to buy some pink and blue streamers and make a poster with happy sixteenth birthday.

    I’m sure whatever you do decide on, it will be great.

    That sounds like a really nice idea for your daughter’s birthday!

    My sixteenth birthday was really nice. My mother brought my cake and refreshments to the school during my Concert Band class and we had a party during the class.

    I hope her birthday is a happy one!

    Maria,
    I hope so, just to figure out where it will happen.
