Mikayla turned 15 last Saturday, the 13th. I had already agreed to help with the retreat things and I had to work Saturday night so we had all of the grandparents up for dinner on Sunday. She picked the menu and decided on hamburgers, macaroni salad, a yogurt/fruit salad and angel food cake with a lemon topping for dessert. She got this shirt from Chelsey.
Grandma and Grandpa Jones have always given the kids a gift they can use and in their birthday card, they always give them the same amount of dollars as years they are. The kids really look forward to this tradition and this year did not disappoint! Mikayla got a beautiful necklace along with her $15.00 She also got some money from Grandpa and Grandma Wood (an undisclosed amount- she wouldn't even let me see it!) Grandpa and Grandma Gibbons also sent a card with some birthday money as well. She also got money from Lee and Woody...I think I might need to take out a loan sometime soon!!!
We paid for drivers ed for Mikayla for her birthday gift. Braquel gave her a cute pair of black and white plaid shoes and Treven and Ellie went together and gave her a new pair of capris. The DeLuna family also gave her a purple shirt and a new necklace. All in all, I think she had a super day!
Mikayla has been wanting us to send her flowers at school for a long time. Valentine's Day was on a Sunday this year so we couldn't send flowers. She was out of school on her birthday so we still couldn't send any. We bought this arrangement of lillies for her as a special surprise!
Beautiful girl! I'm so lucky to have such great grandkids.
