Sweet Sixteen.

I got my first birthday present the night before my birthday. We were picking out a bird cage that was going to be one of my presents. I went to go look at the parakeets, and I saw Sunny! She was sitting on the food dish stuffing her face and chasing all of the other birds away! She was the only yellow one in all of the other dozens of birds! So I decided to get her. Except I didn't know that it was a girl yet. So I named it Butterball on the way home. But once I got home, Christy's bird was flirting with mine, so I looked it up. It turned out that mine was a girl and Christy's was a boy! So then I changed her name to Sunny. In the picture below, Christy's parakeet is the blue one, Pippen, and mine is the yellow one, Sunny.

When I got home, I saw that Dad had bought me pink roses! Everyone in my family knows I love the color pink!

The next day, my birthday, we went to Shogun for lunch.

We practically had the whole place to ourselves! I guess no one else wanted to risk the icy roads! Our cook was really funny.

When he saw me taking this picture, he wanted Christy to come up next to him, so I could take a picture of both of them.

She wouldn't go at first, but she finally did. She hates that kind of thing.

He had her cook the food, then she went to her seat.

I wanted a turn, and he let me come up. I posed for pictures, and in this pic, he was trying to get out of the picture. He was hilarious!

And I cooked Dad's chicken

That night, we went to a show at the Walton Arts Center. It had Melissa Gilbert in it and it was called Little House on the Prairie, the Musical. It was awesome!

It was late when we got back, but we still had the birthday party. Our neighbor was there. It was fun!

Me blowing out the candles.

This is the candle I picked out.

And the watch I picked out. LOL

All in all, it was one of the best birthdays I've ever had!
