Day of Celebration

 Taylor had quite the birthday celebration today!  It started with balloons covering her bedroom floor and Matt bringing home her favorite Starbucks breakfast before leaving for school.  Madison and Trent showed up with balloons and gift cards and she was spoiled all day with candy and cards from her friends at school.  She also loved all of the Instagram collages friends and family posted throughout the day!
 At 6:00, her friends began arriving for the party.  
 Matt and I each drove car loads of girls to Lazy Dog Cafe and met up with some of her other friends for dinner.  Taylor wanted a "semi dressy" dinner and she loved that everyone obliged!  They all looked so pretty!
 The girls shared many laughs over dinner and every time Matt and I looked down at Taylor, she had a giant grin on her face!
 The girls sang "Happy Birthday" so loud and much of the restaurant joined in.

 Maylie had to leave right after dinner, but Taylor was so happy to have her MayMay there!

 Jenna, Caitlin, Avery and the birthday girl
 Then it was back to the house for Bundtini's and presents.
 Jenna got her this awesome Big Joe bean bag chair
 and she was spoiled with scarves, lotions, gift cards, clothes and nail polish...all things girly!

 At 10:15pm, they finally decided to get into the hot tub.  I swear, they never stop!  By 11:30, I was ready for bed and they came inside to watch movies and hang out.
This is what is left when 9 girls are done in the hot tub!
 Apparently, they didn't all fall asleep until 3:00am...Crazy!
I had to leave early for Allison's game in Anaheim, but this is how I left the girls.  I think that's a sign of a good time had by all.  I loved seeing Taylor have so much fun and am so glad she has kind, polite and supportive friends that make her so happy!
