Happy 17th Birthday Marissa!

Last night Robert and I decided to use the balloons Marissa and I used to fill his room, and fill her room with balloons.  We used the same 4 poster board sized Birthday Card too!  It was the first thing she saw when she woke up.

Then she went to seminary and school.  When she got home this is what she saw - more balloons!  Clearly I love celebrating with balloons.

She had her favorite breakfast - supplied and hand cooked by her loving father - chocolate chip pancakes.  She loves them.

Today she will have school, and track practice, then she plans to spend the night out with her friends.  She wants to go to Qdoba for dinner and the Graeters for treats!  Sounds like fun!!!  Luckily she came home in-between practice and going out with her friends to shower and clean up.  We had time to open presents with her.

Marissa looks so pretty in her new daisy dress!

Sweet 17

After presents she went out with her friends that she has had since 6th grade.  Makenzie Mullins, Kelsey Wolhgomuth, Kelsey Hall, Caroline and Amber.  They ate dinner at Qdoba and then splurged on ice cream at Graeters.  YUM!!!!
