Daniel turned 16 on Monday and we are still stretching out the celebration for as long as we can. On Saturday we drove to SLC to go to a trampoline place called Airborne where the kids had fun jumping on a ton of trampolines and playing in a big foam pit etc. We were joined by the Richharts who are one of our favorite families in the world. They have kids the same ages as some of our kids and I hope we get to do more with them in the future.
After jumping their heads off we stopped at Red Robbin on the way home and everyone filled up on Burgers and lots of fries.
On Monday we had a surprise party for Daniel at our house and I have never seen so many beautiful girls and handsome boys in one spot. I think Daniel got the message that he is loved by his friends. I am VERY thankful that our children have the opportunity to have such great friends.
For FHE we watched a video that my Dad took when Daniel was born. It was so fun to see the family at that stage of life. Everyone was so little. We remembered what life was like with 6 under the age of 8. Whew! Can't believe that little baby is now 16. Time flies when you are having fun.
Gosh! I wish we had known we were part of Daniel's birthday celebration! We should have gave HIM something!!
ReplyDeleteNext time, we'll force them to get to know each other better! All of 'em! At least we had a chance to talk and catch up!
