Lauren turned 16 on September 22nd. We surprised her with a Sweet Sixteen party the day before. With the help of one of my friends who "needed a babysitter" we were able to have Lauren away from home after school on that day. Holly decorated the den and kitchen, I made a cake, and Grant cooked up a heaping helping of shish-kabob. 
A bunch of Lauren's friends came and helped with the surprise.
And at times they acted a wee bit crazy . . .
There was a cake depicting several of Lauren's little girl birthdays including her day-of-birth, her first birthday, her Harry Potter birthday, her Mickey Mouse birthday, her carousel birthday, and her baptism birthday.
Her cake had sparklers in the shape of the number 16. They were very smokey! We were lucky the smoke alarm didn't go off.
Lauren's heart's desire came true for her birthday . . . no, she didn't get a car for her birthday, she received a Chi flat iron. She was very excited! All the girls squealed when she opened that gift. Go figure!
She did get her own set of keys to Mom's and Dad's cars. Funny, she still asks to borrow our keys when she wants drive.
All in all, we successfully pulled off the surprise. And Lauren successfully managed to make it to sixteen. Hard to believe isn't it?

Love the picture cake idea! Looks like a great birthday!!!!
Can NOT believe she is sixteen! Time sure does fly! And what's so great about the Chi? Does it work really good or something, cuz I could sure use a good one with all the frizzy hair I have!
