December first was Brianna's 16th Birthday! Wow, I can't believe it has been 16 YEARS since I had first laid eyes on my little baby. She has grown into a wonderful young lady and I couldn't have asked for anything better! On her actual Birthday we went over to my Mom's house since it was a Wednesday night and we eat at my Mom's on Wednesday, so my Mom got to cook two B-day dinners for her! She had no idea what her present was and couldn't wait to open it. So I let her when she got home from school. In my Dad's family it is a tradition when you turn sixteen that you receive a family ring. Your own ring, not someone else. She didn't remember about it and was surprised!
Craig felt that the present wasn't really from him, so he got her his own present. Went and picked it out all by himself! I was impressed! He went to Tiffany's and got her really cool hoop earrings, she liked them but decided to return them for the ring that went in that same set. She didn't think she would wear the earrings all the time and wanted something she could wear more! This girl got so much jewelry for her B-day I don't think she needs any for a long time! Phew!
Then for the weekend my Mom and I took her and 5 of her friends to Palm Desert for the weekend! Girls Trip!! We stayed at my Uncle's house which was wonderful as always! It was a pretty quick weekend, not getting there until Friday about dinner time. Saturday we went shopping in El Paseo, which is a very nice shopping area. Had lunch at CPK...
Since the shopping was pretty upscale in El Paseo, thank goodness there was a Tiffany's to exchange her earrings, the girls wanted to go to the mall up the block. We didn't get back to the house until 5:30!!! We got back to the house, had dinner, cake, girls went in spa and my Mom & I watched a girls movie. We were exhausted!
Make a wish!
Sunday we did a little more shopping on the way home at the outlet mall! I am totally all shopped out! My body is so tired today!! It was so nice to get away just us girls, it was my first weekend away from the boys! We all survived! Glad you girls had such a fun weekend!
