17th birthday

09-09-09

Last year when TJ turned 16 we wanted to throw him a big birthday party. He completely refused and I was so sad. I never had a 16th birthday party and so I wanted all my kids to have one. Well TJ stood his ground and we caved and just had a family celebration.

This year his 17th birthday landed on 09-09-09. Thayne and I didn’t give him a choice we told him he would be having a party. How could you not have a party when your birthday lands on that date, right?

We had his friend Porter invite his friends. I went on Facebook and invited his friends that way too. We knew it was a school night so we weren’t really sure what kinds of turn out we would get but we didn’t care, we were throwing a PARTY!!!!!

Everything turned out great, all his good friends were there and we had FOOD, FOOD, FOOD and more FOOD.

Now he did surprise us all and wore his Speedo for a little bit. His friend Josh bought it for him in the Philippians.

I will add pictures of that later. Ü
