Sweet 16

Kloe May turned the big 16 yesterday!

16 looks good on her don't you think?!

We celebrated with a Chik-fil-A breakfast (she loves Chick-fil-A).

And celebrated some more with a Chick-fil-A dinner :) --I told you, she LOVES Chick-fil-A.

Remember how I'm not a "party" mom?  The kids get birthday party's when they turn 8, 12, and 16.  Kloe thought about what kind of party she'd like and decided to go a different direction.

She wanted a date with Mom (movie and dinner later this week) and to spend her birthday night in the mountains roasting marshmallows with just her family and her cousin Kaitlynn.  She's considering having a few friends over for cake and ping-pong on Saturday.

Kaitlynn and her twin Karter were Kloe's first best buddies.

This was the BEST idea!  It was a beautiful night and nice to be in the mountains.  We decided next time we'll bring hot dogs too.

One Beck birthday tradition is sharing our favorite thing about the birthday person so we gathered around the fire and shared all that is great about Kloe...probably the thing that came up most is her ability to make everyone laugh--after 11am of course.  

We all laughed about the fact that she's not really a morning or a night person.  She's more of a 11am-7pm kinda gal.

So grateful for our Kloe and so proud of the strong young woman she's becoming.
