Well my baby has turned 16. This is where all the crying starts, lol. I feel like I am saying this a lot lately but time is going by way too fast. I mean it seems like it was literally yesterday I was bring her home from the hospital. My little princess. It may sound unrealistic but at the point and time, I really could not even fathom that she would grow up. Maybe I was just praying I would not break her, lol.
The moment I saw her I knew. I knew I wanted better for her. I never wanted her to feel unwanted, not special, not important. She would never be a disappointment. I would encourage her to reach for her dreams and never give up. My first daughter will always know how beautiful and smart she is.
Throughout these 16 years she has grown into such a beautiful person. Inside and out. She is kind, creative, hard working, intelligent, caring and mine.
Happy Birthday Jazz I Love You more than you will ever know!
I decided to go with a small little get together with just the immediate family. The other kids were out of school so we spent all day decorating and cooking. This proved to be quite a challenge because my oven is broke and we used a small countertop oven. Hey you gotta learn how to improvise! It worked out great because made mini cheesecakes, cupcakes and cakes. We took a quick trip to Walmart and bought some cookies, salsa and chips,plus her favorite candy. Laffy Taffy 
While there we found the coolest Tinkerbell decorations. Jazz is one of the biggest Tinkerbell fans ever so I just had to grab it. I found a huge balloon and wall coverings for her. (The best part is she can re use the wall coverings to decorate her room!)
Came out pretty yummy considering: we filled the muffin pans, realized they would not fit in counter top oven and how to squeeze into a much smaller baking pan,lol
It was a great day. It was not huge and fancy like the Sweet 16 parties you see on t.v. I am a stay at home mom with four kids and that is no where near my budget. But I can tell you this, it was full of love and laughs!
I want to give a big hug and thanks to my helpers. They helped blow up balloons, set up, decorate, cook, clean up and everything in between

@Nicole I think I did good since she LOVES Tinkerbell. She did not expect it. Now I have to start planning “something” for my 11 year old who turns 12 at the end of April.
