Today is Meri's 16th birthday! She MADE it!!!
From a little girl who loved to eat things to make her tongue blue...
to the Wizard of Oz fanatic...
to a lover of winter...
to a lover of summer...
to a girl who acts up during the church Christmas program...
to a girl who loves to get messy on the beach...
to a 16 year old girl who is MUCH loved...
We celebrated on Saturday due to Maddy & Matthew's schedules.
Meri wasn't complaining!
It was Maddy's idea to impale Olaf with the community birthday candle...
One of the bigger gifts was a used hood for her truck. I know what you're thinking, well, kind of... EVERY 16 year old loves used car parts!!!
Well, Meri has been wanting me to clean out the garage so she could personalize/paint her truck in it. And THAT wasn't going to happen without a good warm snap and a lot of energy, so we did the next best thing. We gave her something to paint that won't leave her car undrivable for any amount of time. And this way, she has the original hood for resale value!
Win Win!
Two short days later, Meri's hood was almost done. Since this photo, she's touched it up with a little black paint and a few more things that she loves. It's ready to put on her car. So we'll get that installed by this weekend. She's on her way to get her drivers license today with her dad!
She has successfully prevented anyone else from borrowing her truck in the foreseeable future.
Unless they like all those things that she labeled it with...
Happy Birthday Meri! We love you!

And when did she develop this pickle obsession??.....

Happy birthday to Meri! Hmmmm....maybe if I did that to my van, my husband wouldnt always want to drive it instead of his clunker of a car.
Can't wait to see the truck in its finished form! I love my truck and Meri seems like just the girl for a truck! Keep on truckin'!!!
