sadie turned fifteen on saturday!!!
crazy old!
we celebrated bright and early--7am
birthday itinerary:
celebrate
games
set up
party
sadie carpooled with a bunch of friends to her two basketball games. my parents met her there, which i was grateful for because dave was medical supporting at the high school track meet and i took max to his first soccer game and then abe had a game in salt lake.
dave got home and somehow amazingly moved furniture upstairs and set up our new tv (goodbye to the cube, sniff, sniff) for sadie's big birthday party, while i ran to costco for food. we pulled it all together minutes before the big party started. it ended up being just right.
sadie's shrine consisted of a few gifts for her bedroom and some pics from way back when. i love the blue peacock. what a find!
we started singing happy birthday and vivian got this cute look on her face, thinking we were singing to her again:)
sadie's birthday wish: a snap back hat. loved it!
the boys gave her a spring sports pedicure.
we surprised her with these nike shoes that she fell in love with in new york. tricky finding them, but somehow i did. i think it was a birthday miracle:)
a new dresser and some decor to finish off her room.
love these two amazing girls!
wonder what the wish was, she wouldn't tell:)
i really am so lucky to have sadie! she has decided to be remarkable and she is. plus, we are great friends and she lets me in. she is a good listener, a hard worker and strives to be good and do good. she is a huge blessing to me. i have noticed lately her efforts to make our home heavenly. she does small things that make a world of difference, like putting her arm around kai, asking if i need help, tending vivs, talking to the boys on their bed at night, complimenting her brothers. it makes for a happy, peaceful family. i can't say enough about what a good person she is. she is talented and radiates happiness and light and has great judgement. she is mature and unselfish and i know heavenly father will and is using her to do great things.
sadie invited a few friends over. we had tons of food and they played air hockey, foosball, soccer outside and sort of watched jurassic park. she had a great time and so many of her friends came. she felt loved and happy. dave and i reminisced about the birthday party when we first saw each other. it was in 9th grade, about the same time of year, same type of party. crazy!!
i love the awkward space between sadie and the boy next to her:) haha!
happy birthday sades!!! we heart you!!!
