Sweet Sixteen...

Today we celebrated my sweet little niece's sweet sixteenth birthday with family, pizza, cake & ice cream ~ what a great combo!

While wishes were floating in her head, we gathered around  her singing "Happy Birthday" to the wonderful little sweetheart...

A sweet little sixteen year old that passed her driver's test today and has become Kinder's next little road warrior. So being the sweet Auntie that I am, {wink} I made this for her as a reminder that her co-pilot {He} will be with her at all times...

I made her the beaded cross to hang from her rear view mirror and the beaded looped key chain. It is in her school colors, black and gold. Oh, & the $20 is for gas money! Now, we are all just waiting for her Mom to go buy herself a new car so that Payton will inherit her Honda! {Yes, we are stirrin' it up!} :)

I cannot take credit for giving Payton that beautiful fleur de lis ring...her Mom surprised her with that! {I'm so jealous of it!}

Matter of fact, I'm jealous of her bracelet too! I love Payton's style, she's so original.

So here she is with all of  her birthday loot from today because tomorrow night, she's having a sleep over with her friends! That means more pizza, cake, & ice cream...& more presents! Yay!

And I'm going to add this note at the end of this post because I want the whole world to know how cool this kid really is...

Not only is she the sweetest sweetheart, but the smartest! She's only a sophomore and she took her ACT for the first time ever...

And scored a 24!!! Yay! TWENTY-FOUR! Hellllooooo scholarships! We are so darn proud of her! And I have no doubt she'll be signing up to take the test again to try and beat that score!

I hope you have a Happy Birthday Week Sweetie!

Auntie Jodie loves ya lots!
