Sixteen years ago this week I was celebrating my “sweet 16” birthday party. I’ve always been a little different, and I wasn’t exactly sure what a “traditional” sweet 16 party included, so I made up my own.
And it was sweet! :woot:
I invited the seven kids I regularly babysat over for a party. We played pin-the-tail-on-the-donkey. We blew bubbles. We made sock puppets. And we ate cupcakes. It was a lot of fun. They gave me cards that they had colored (which I still have in my scrap book) and made me a shirt with their foot prints on it, my Texas Two-Steppers. 🙂
Those feet are all grown up and going to college and serving missions now.
My feet have grown up a lot since then too. They’re still the same size, but they’ve certainly been a lot of places and seen a lot of things.
I am an educator and PhD. I quilt, belly dance, run, read, and try to grow things. I am a Mormon. I am infertile. I am a daughter, sister, aunt, grand-daughter, friend, wife, and mom.

I love that you kept the shirt!! Those footprints look so tiny for sixteen year olds 🙂 What a fun “sweet 16” party!
The owners of those feet were only two to four years-old at the time.
that was a fun party :tractor:
