Seventeen Baby!

My baby is now 17. Seriously where does the time go? She has grown up to be a beautiful young woman. Last week was finals for the 1st semester and Sierra got all A's in all of her IB classes. What a huge accomplishment. I am a very proud Mom, for all of her acheivements! Sierra is a very caring and compassionate person. Not only is she gorgeous on the outside she is equally as beautiful on the inside. I was thrilled when she let me take pictures of her even at breakfast. She usually refuses but she was all smiles. French toast her fav! The start of a 3 day celebration! Sierra had to share her birthday with Maddy, she had a basketball game. Afterwards we had red velvet cake with chocolate mousse filling and whipped cream frosting.
Day two I tagged along with her and a friend to the new self serve yo-cream pico-berry
That night her dear friend Cassie threw Sierra a SURPRISE Birthday party! I made another cake for it and Cassie's Mother picked it up before Sierra got home from school as to not ruin the surprise.
Sierra was genuinely SURPRISED!!! Over 25 of her friends were there to celebrate with her! Thank you Cassie for being such a good friend!
Day three, Cosmic Bowling at Mt. Hood lanes! Several of her friends joined her at the bowling alley for yet another Party! This time I made cupcakes! Sierra even let her little sis Maddy and brother Cole tag along. (Cole took this pic, good job at centering it Cole as to not cut anyones face out of the pic)
Thank you to all of Sierras friends that came and celebrated with her!
And to finish off the week of "Sierra" she went on a date with Caesar (spelling?) I thought they looked nice, especially for playing arcade games at Wunderland.
The intent was to go to a Valentine's Dance, but upon arrival they felt out numbered by "old people "and decided to go to the Arcade.
