Sweet Sixteen

Danica's Sweet 16th happened yesterday. As usual, I made a card: first the outside and then the inside.



Wednesday is dad's day with the kids, so we all celebrated on Tuesday. Shauna used the van from work, to drive 6 of us to Mandarin restaurant in Ottawa: an all-you-can-eat Chinese buffet that Danica quite adores. The sixth person was Dani's boyfriend.

At the restaurant entrance

Main gift: concert tickets

An extra: a little keeper gift from us

How sweet! I love your card, and the pictures tell a wonderful story. :-)

Super event for all of you, with photos to remember it by. Sue is a model, yes? That restaurant does a good job of presentation!

Great photos. Happy belated wishes to Danica.

You're so right about your comment on my Wisdom blog yesterday. There are a few things that worked out for me, that in the long run, weren't for me really. Life!

Your family is so loving. It is a nice thing to see.

Oh no, say it isn't so! Hard to believe that your lovely granddaughter, Danica, is now 16, as it seems like just recently that you were posting the photos of her in childhood, AC. Thanks for sharing the family photos of this special milestone. You and Sue are young-looking grandparents (aren't we all?) and indeed Sue had a "spiffy" outfit. Happy🎂 Birthday wishes sent to the birthday celebrant🎉

Happy birthday to her!

Happy Birthday, Danica.
Why didn't anyone else dress up for the occasion?

Anvilcloud said...

@Marcia: I was a bit surprised about the clothes. Apparently, it's a different era.

RedPat said...

That sounds like it was a grand day for the birthday girl. Wouldn't you love to be 16 again? Maybe not these days with all the social media pressures.

Margaret said...

Happy 16th to Danica! What a lovely family outing and Sue looks elegant as usual. She has such a great dress sense. (I do not)

Boud said...

Sue's the only person dressed up! Happy birthday, Sixteen!

@Boud: Hey there! I wasn't wearing a suit, but was wearing decent threads. 😎

Hooray for birthdays!
Such fun.

You and Sue have the most beautiful family! What a special occasion.

Sue's eye is so much improved! She is her usual amazingly gorgeous self. And so is the grandkid. What a sweetie.
Did I mention that the grandson is looking more like you every day, lucky kid.
Love the celebration. You are a fine, fine grandfather.
