Our sweet girl turned 16! Katelyn is growing up to be an amazing young lady. She is a great friend, sister, and daughter in so many ways. She's energetic, trustworthy, passionate, and determined in everything she does. What I am most thankful for though, is her love for Jesus! I pray she always puts Him first in her life and that she doesn't find her worth through worldly things, but in the fact that she is a child of God. We love you to infinity and beyond! And pray for your safety and good decisions as your drive off into this world with more independence!!
She started her day with a XC run of course!! She was scheduled to babysit, but they cancelled so we made the most of it! After XC we opened presents and ate bagels and lox per her request!
We had another big surprise planned for her, so we hopped in the car and headed to Pleasanton to "eat lunch with Pappy". She had no idea that we actually had bought her a car and parked it at Pappy's house!! We had made a plan to say, "I guess Pappy's cleaning lady is here today," but she beat us too it. She said the same thing!! haha! Then when we got out of the car, Lex pushed the alarm on the new car and handed her the key and said, "Here, see if these keys will turn off that alarm." She was confused but tried it and then it hit her, this was HER car! We pulled it off and she loves it! It's a Mazda CX-5, its a few years old with some miles but not too many. We are hoping it'll make it through college for her!
We had planned her birthday party to be on Friday night, but quite a few of her close friends couldn't make it. Since her babysitting job was cancelled, we decided to just throw it out there and see if her friends could come over on her actual birthday (which was Tuesday) and they all could come! She was so excited! What a perfect day to celebrate her SWEET SIXTEEN!
The next day we went to Beeville to do her driving test and she passed with flying colors!!
The next morning, driving herself and Levi to XC practice!!
Happy Birthday my sweet girl! We are so proud of you and love being along side you as you navigate this growing up thing! You're rocking it, by the way!
