Sweet 16

My Beckie is turning 16 on Sunday, and we are having a party for her tomorrow. I had to bring up the idea of a party, because she didn't request one and since she lives in the moment she doesn't usually plan ahead. I've recruited her big sister to help with the party planning, and she strategized with Beckie about how to handle friends of hers who don't get along with each other. She's done it all through Face Book and verbal invites for a few who don't have a Face Book account. I haven't heard how many have responded, and Beckie is never too concerned about details. I'll need to get her to check her responses so we can figure out approximately how many are coming to her party. I did get her cake baked, but although she and her dad went to the store to get the cake mix and ice cream of her choice, they forgot to get frosting. Somehow, it will all come together and my baby will have a good celebration for her 16th birthday.
