15 years ago...

...a beautiful baby girl joined our family! 

It is so hard to believe she is 15 years old today!!!

(Seriously, can we be old enough to have a 15 year old?!?

I remember being 15 and it doesn't seem like that long ago!!!)

Polka Dot Triple Chocolate Cake 

15 candles to blow out!

Kelsey chose to have homemade Fettuccine Alfredo with chicken and broccoli for dinner--one of her favorites--and garlic french bread. She left the cake up to me, but requested cookie dough ice cream :)

Two out the three presents that we got for her, didn't arrive in time (one was the Cinderella DVD which isn't set to release until 9/15 and the other was The Piano Guys Simplified Piano book), so I printed out pictures of them and wrapped them up...not quite the same as the real thing, but the best I could do!!! She was still excited about them anyway.

We also purchased an "Arts Express" pass for her which is a special pass that her high school offers that gets her into 7 different arts performances or experiences throughout the school year. She will get to go to a few local plays and musicals, The NC Museum of Arts, The Winston-Salem Symphony and a Film Festival. She was very excited about this and hopefully will enjoy going to all of these special events.

She also received some money which I'm sure she has big plans for :) Thank you to both grandparents for helping make her birthday special.

Kelsey, we are so grateful you are part of our family. You are the best daughter (not to mention our most favorite daughter) we could ever hope for.

We love you so much!

Happy 15th Birthday!!!
