Lisel's 15th Birthday Party

This momma is holding my breath because my baby is 15!!!

I hear from 'more experienced' mom's that this can be the hardest year.

I guess I'll just 'hang on and enjoy the ride!'

(or at least try too :))

We had a fun party for Lis, she invited 13 of her friends

and they ice skated, had dinner, played games and watched the 4th Pirates movie.

They are such a fun group of teens, and I'm glad they all have each other! 

Jessica, Taylor, Amanda, Hollie, Chad, Josh, Parker, 

Spencer, Dalton, Lisel, Ashlyn, Preston, Bailee, Sammie

Here's most of the crew singing happy birthday to Lis
with her strawberry crepe in hand

they were a little goofy, but it was all fun!

 The game playing got crazy and these guys were such good sports!

Lisel is so lucky to have such great friends!

They had fun playing around and socializing while
 ice skating, such talented kids!

Spencer, not their dad, but a cute neighbor :),
 made Lis and Brit's bd's extra special
he brought them a homemade apple pie
that he made himself!
Lots of smiles here :)

Ashlyn really went all out, she had gifts
placed around and given to Lis throughout
the day from teachers etc...
made her feel special

 The day of Lisel's birthday was also full of fun!  We had a surprise breakfast for her at the Webb's with her seminary class.  Chocolate covered strawberries, quiche, yummy cake...it was quite a spread!  And the Dayne's came over and surprised her with a big sign and balloons outside the house AND a poem written by none other than Uncle Mike himself!  She is one loved girl.

Lisel has become a teen, but she is an incredibly good one at that!  

I love and admire:

Your hard work and diligence in school 

Your commitment to follow the standards of our church

Your spunky, full of life personality, (a bit mischievous sometimes ;o)

The way you take part and help out in our family

Your love of style and fashion
Your willingness to try new things and do hard things

That you are respectful and polite

Your big, beautiful smile!

How grateful I am to be the mother of this amazing girl!

Love you Leesy Lu!
