Our baby Rachel turned 17 on August 24. She wanted to have a party which started out as just a few of her friends coming over to a house of 20+ teenagers. Her friends were nice enough to bring mocktails for the party. Fortunately she has some great friends here that totally respect her values.
We had plenty of pizza, soda, chips, cookies, all the junk food that teenagers want.
The one thing she really wanted for her birthday was Honey Bunches of Oats. Sounds crazy but they are a treat for us here. Fortunately the local expat store carried it and she ended up with three boxes for her birthday. Quite the easy girl to shop for I guess.
We had to have the traditional cake with candles. Again, not the easiest thing to find here. I had to bake it myself and luckily I remembered to bring back birthday candles from the US this summer.
Most of the cake got eaten but some frosting somehow got misplaced on a few faces.
Nancy even got a little frosting to the face.
Rachel and Blair Bear....It was a fun party for Rachel. I can't believe that next year she will be off in college somewhere celebrating her 18th birthday.
