The two Birthday girls share a moment.

Mallory could not believe that she got a wii from all of us!

And the band played on... More than just a family, we are a band now! Trying out Mallory's new wii system!

Poor Mallory had to be in this old people band! We are very serious!

Here we are with Tizita afer singing "Happy Birthday" to her. I had to hold her party hat because she didn't really enoy wearing it. She did enjoy her little cake, though. Happy Birthday sweet little Tizita!

We had a very fun weekend. We started by going to Mallory's basketball game on Friday night. Tizita enjoyed her first taste high school basketball. She especially liked the Gosling mascot who came up and gave her high fives and watching Mallory cheer.
On Saturday we took her outside and gave her a ride on her new sled. We have a very small hill in our backyard and she took her first solo sled ride down that little hill. She wore a big smile the whole time so I think she liked it.
Alissa, Nathan, Mallory, and Kevin arrived from their lunch at Noodles on Saturday afternoon and the sixteenth birthday extravaganza began. Mallory was speechless when she opened her wii. She had no idea. We immediately got a band together and played for quite sometime.
We had a great birthday dinner and wonderful desserts provided by Alissa and Nathan.
More guitar hero and wii playing after dinner.
On Sunday we went to church and then had Tzita's birthday celebration. She enjoyed her Elmo blowers, but not the hats so much. Her cake was a big hit.
Alissa and Nathan left early Sunday to get ready for their honeymoon in Jamaica. Courtney, Paul, and Tizita left a bit ago. I cleaned up the house and am now relaxing and remembering. The best part is that I can still smell sweet little Tizita's coconut oil lingering around the house. It makes her seem not quite so far away.
