Traditions…

My youngest daughter turned 16 last week and this past weekend we gave her a "Sweet Sixteen" party. All her friends that I've known and have been in school with her since kindergarten attended and I couldn't believe how grown up they all were. Two of my daughter's closest friends came to help her celebrate turning 16. She's stayed in touch with them even though they all now live in different towns and go to different high schools. At all the birthday parties and other gatherings that they've all been together over the years it's been a tradition to take a photo of the three of them together. Happy Sweet Sixteen, Katie and may the three of you always be the "3 Muskateers" no matter where life takes you.
