Afton is 16!!

Afton turned 16 on President's Day this year...which meant NO SCHOOL! She had a surprise birthday breakfast, with about 10 of her friends. We had cinnamon rolls, and chocolate chip pancakes, and they all had a good time visiting with each other.

After her friends left, we opened presents, and got ready...

to go to the Grizzlie's Hockey Game...which was packed! Who knew! It was our first time at a hockey game. We had a good time, but it wasn't as exciting as some hoped it would be.

We then headed up to Midway for the Ice Castles...it was supposed to last a lot longer, but since we haven't had a very wintry winter, it was going to be the last day. We stood in line for what felt like hours! It might have been only 90 minutes, but it was still long, and then the snow went down, and it was cold!

The ice castles were really pretty. The big highlight was getting their pictures with Anna and Elsa from "Frozen", but I'm not sure where those pictures went! It was fun! We were glad we got the opportunity to go.

We had a fun day celebrating Afton's 16th Birthday! I can't believe how fast time has gone by, and what a beautiful, smart, wonderful young lady Afton is. She has determination. She has a testimony. She makes herself giggle, and us too! And I'm so glad I am blessed to be her mother.
