Tacey's 14th Birthday!

Well, for Tacey's birthday, I have told her she is too old for parties, so she can invite a few girlfriends to lunch. This usually means there are some serious decision to be made about who is invited. I usually cave and let more girls come than we can actually afford. . .
This year there were 4 friends and a trip to Olive Garden.
First Present. . .

Kaydee. . Abbey & Jessica

Katelyn

The inside of the present

Chocolate present. . .

Randon Olive Garden people singing. They didn't even give her a free dessert. Lame.

Abbey and a breadstick. I swear, and this is not an exaggeration, they went through 9 baskets of bread sticks!

Dessert!

Katelyn hard a hard time keeping it in her mouth!

Photo session outside the restaurant

Carzy girls high on bread sticks!

Yup.

Taking pictures down by the river.

Abbey went running across the grass, ot realizing the water level was high and things were overflowing. It was like 35 degrees, and she slipped in the very wet, very mushy mud.

See?

Posing. . . like models (?)

We were going to spell YMCA, but there were too many of them.

Friends

Jumping friends

Running friends

Galloping friends

Friends around a flag pole, friends on the railroad tracks (no train in sight). The birthday girl!

This is what silly girls high on breadsticks do at stop signs in rural Idaho. Yes, it is a Chinese Firedrill.

She opted for brownies, not cake.

Singing Happy Birthday!

All in all, a good Birthday Week!
