Bella's 17th Birthday

Gifts arrived in the mail during the days leading up to her birthday so I put them in gift bags. She had a lot to open that night! 

We had to wait until everyone’s band and basketball practices were complete before we could go out to celebrate. On the way to the restaurant (Zwanzig’s), at 6:52pm, Bella officially became a seventeen-year-old.

After dinner, it was time for presents, cake, and slideshow. Mabel was ready to celebrate too! 

17-year-old Bella next to 16-year-old Bella!

This girl loves her cheesecake!

I love celebrating our kids!
