Sarah's 15th Birthday

Sarah turned 15! It has been great to watch as she has really matured a lot over the past year.

Ready to open her gifts.

Opening the gummies Matthew gave her.

Excited about the Cheez Its from Megan.

Opening the crazily-wrapped present her parents gave her. (There were multiple bags, one tied tightly shut, as well as a wrapped box that was completely wrapped in packing tape.)

What was in the package from mom and dad? An eraser. (Technically, it was a skateboard eraser as it had staples on the bottom of the eraser so it could slide across slick surfaces.)

The real skateboard.

Trying out the skateboard.

Happy birthday message on the driveway, courtesy of dad.
(I'm also including close ups of "Happy" since each of those letters was uniquely decorated.)

Some members of Sarah's swim team surprised her by stopping by. She was so excited!

Her initial reaction. She was totally surprised!

Going down to greet her teammates and coach.

Sarah organized a drive by party with her friends in the evening. She was excited to see them!

Turning on some music to listen to during the party.
