Is it still "sweet" 16 if you are a boy?

We celebrated his birthday by going to the zoo without him.  ( He had other plans)  We went swimming and had his birthday dinner (Spicy chicken sandwiches, homemade fries, and corn on the cob).  We had cake and opened presents, then he and Truman were off to a church dance.  He reported that he had a fun time.  The girls (who were at the dance with them) say that he danced with more girls than last time!

Christian requested mint chocolate chip icing on his chocolate cake.  Kenneth said it couldn't be done.  What better motivation.  It was so perfect that Hazel was convinced that it was actually ice cream.

 I finally finished the quilt that I started at Christmas.  Charlotte and Kenneth helped me tie it on Friday. He liked it.  Hooray!
