Willy Wonka

This weekend was my home-school group’s performance of Willy Wonka. It was a really, really fun play!!! I was Grandma Josephina, and my brothers were stage crew. My sister wasn’t in it because she has been sick, but she had a lot of fun watching it! As always, the play was a lot of work but a lot of fun. My mom took some pictures, but because we were moving so much on stage it was hard to get clear ones. She was still able to take some pretty good ones, though!

My 16th Birthday!

Last week, I turned 16!!! I am really excited! 16 is the age where in my church we consider ourselves old enough to go on group/double dates, and now I am also old enough to drive (I'm working on that) and its a big age in general! My Birthday was on a Sunday, but the day before that there was a church dance. A few of my friends that live near me came over a while before the dance and we watched singing in the rain and played a few games. It was really fun! After that we went to the dance, and it was my brothers first dance. He sat down on the side of the room pretty much the whole time, but I think he still had a lot of fun even though he pretended not to.
My friend's Claire and Miriam made this super awesome yummy cake for me! Thanks you guys!
