Happy Sweet 16 to a very special person!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SHARYSSA!!

Last Friday was a surprise party that was in the making since October or November.
It started out by me 'forgetting' my piano books at my lesson the day before.
Friday morning at 8:45 seven excited guests showed up at my house.
We straightened Rebekah's hair while we waited for Sharyssa to arrive.
At 9:10, Sharyssa came to drop off my piano music on the way to a 'doctors appointment'.
She walked into my room, suspecting nothing, where we were all waiting to surprise here.
All of us yelled, "SURPRISE! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!" the instant she walked into the room.
She was so stunned! At first, she got really upset thinking we had gotten the dates wrong, that her birthday was next weekend. 
Then she realized we were all there and she had to go to the doctor. 
We all quickly told her she was not going to the doctors, but she was still confused.
After we did Katherine and Kylee's hair, we set out to go to the hair salon to get the birthday girls hair done.
We all watched as her hair was curled and pinned. It was gorgeous!
Then we went to a quaint little tea house for a birthday lunch. All of the food was delicious and Sharyssa had a lot of fun. 
While we were at the tea house, Sharyssa opened her presents.
The Whites gave her a homemade hat and twirly scarf, which were both very cute. 
Linnea gave her a special book.
Her Aunt gave her a pearl necklace. 
I gave her some sparkly body mist.
After opening presents, we went to go pick up a dear friend Mikayla to do pictures. 
She led us into a nearby park. 
Sharyssa was gorgeous in all of her pictures!
After Mikayla had to go home, we took some more pictures of the groups. 
When we had gotten our fill of pictures, we all went back to Sharyssa's house.
We painted little jars to use as cups, which was a lot of fun.
Then we had a small tea time, with "rasberry cordial" (also known as sparkling grape juice), Texas sheet cake, and frozen fruit.
Then the White girls had to go home. :'(
Kylee, Sharyssa, and I all walked down to the park for a little while, then came back and had hot dogs for dinner.
We were also playing a game of Skip-Bo while we ate.
Then we watched 'Singing in the Rain', of which I fell asleep during. 
After the movie was over, we went into their living room and fell asleep pretty quickly.
The next morning was nothing eventful. We all got up and got ready to go. 
Sharyssa and Kylee were meeting the White girls at the beach, but I was not going because I needed to get some rest before that night.
I left pretty quickly after breakfast. 
The fun was over.

Now on her real 16th birthday, I pray she has a fantasical day full of fun and love. 

(I will put another post up with the pictures in a little while, but my fingers are quite tired.)
