October 19, 2013. Canyon Lake, Texas. 16th Birthday.

Sarah was surprised.  This evening, Sarah was to have dinner with Ian and Rita, David and Suzanne and Ken and me, along with the rest of the family.   But it was really a surprise birthday party with her friends, held at The Melting Pot, where they serve fondue.  Sarah came into the room expecting  old folks but instead she found all her friends yelling SURPRISE.  What fun.

It was a great party because there was always something to do.   In between the courses, the girls switched tables and chattered away, while bit by bit, Sarah opened presents.

David has the practice to take each girl shopping for a  birthday outfit.  This afternoon, David took Sarah to Nordstroms.  She wore her new clothes to the restaurant and she looked wonderful.

This morning, Suzanne and Sarah had a massage together.  It was Suzanne's birthday gift to Sarah.

On the way to the restaurant, after the shopping trip, Sarah said to David, "This has been the best day of my life".  16th birthdays don't get any better than that.
