Birthday Girl

 Taylor woke up early for her soccer game to a decorated room, hallway and bathroom.  We picked up her favorite cranberry orange scone at Starbuck's on our drive to Pomona. 
 After her game, she requested lunch at Subway and we opened presents with the family.  She loved her new Beats headphones, Under Armor workout pants, Katy Perry perfume, jewelry holder, necklaces and workout gear!
Then it was time to get ready for her party. She invited 36 friends (about 27 were able to make it) for an evening bonfire/movie night.
 She requested a candy bar which was fun to put together!
 We also had popcorn, nachos, soft pretzels and fruit/veggies.
Allison made this cute sign for the front door.
 As her friends arrived they hung out both inside and outside.
Matt hung some cool lights under the patio and Hank and Leslie gave us their fire pit, which worked out perfectly!
I wasn't very good with the camera, but managed to catch some of the kids…Lauren, Taylor, McKayla, Summer and Taylor
 Taylor and Mandy (friends since Kindergarten)
 Lauren and Taylor (besties since U10 All-Stars)
 I caught part of the group by the fire…Summer, Taylor, Simon, Jenna, Lauren, Claire, Emily, Taylor, Mandy and Nathan
Nashali, Kim and Avery
Love these two girls!
They also spent time watching Ferris Bueller's Day Off and Grease while cramped together in the family room.  I think the last kids left at 12:30am and 5 spend the night, although there wasn't much sleeping going on. It was a great group of kids and I'm so glad Taylor has such wonderful friends.  I loved seeing her shine with all of them and it was a perfect night celebrating her 15th birthday!
