She made it! She's finally 16! She had a birthday party in the basement that I didn't have to do anything for except for toss down some snacks.
On her actual birthday she opened more presents!
Received balloons that we tied to her backpack so everyone would know it was her birthday!
Promptly went to the DMV to receive her driver's license.
And we went to Sakura for dinner and they brought her a singing cake.
This was the day after her birthday. Climbing into her blue car like a boss!
And away she went!
She went halvsies with us on the car. She's practiced for a full year and I feel like she's a pretty good driver. Maxine had more practice than I did before I got my license. She did all the things necessary to be ready for her license on her birthday! Awesome awesome awesome!
She can sleep in later because the darn bus comes so early and now she doesn't have to make it anymore. She can drive herself to swim team instead of catching a ride and she can drive herself home too!!! Her best friend Ellen is moving from Zion to Hurricane so she'll be able to drive herself over any time she wants!
It's possible I could be more excited about this than she is. Ok, probably not.
