Natalie's Sweet 16!

Being Christmas day, Natalie never sees friends on her birthday. Her sweet friends thought that wouldn't work for her 16th birthday! It needed to be special. They got with Hallie and she unclocked the basement door for them to sneak in. We sent her downstairs to find these kids in her room. They sang happy birthday.

And brought balloons full of notes and pictures for her.

It was so great of them to come on Christmas. Natalie felt very loved!!

 She got a cupcake maker from her friend Jenae.

A Michael Buble cd from her brother and sisters.

And what she thought was a ukulele bag!

But it was a new nicer ukulele too! She was so happy. She has spent so much time teaching herself to play. We thought she should have a nice ukulele instead of the old one Oma found in the basement for her to learn on.

Finishing the day off with Cheesecake!! I think it was a great day for her!!
