She's legal!
Our #2 Smithling turned EIGHTEEN today!
What's the first thing Liesey wanted to do now that she's of legal age? Why, purchase spray paint at The Home Depot, of course. It looks like our girl is going to paint the town red...
The next stop after church was at Quick Trip so our daughter could purchase her first (last, and only!) lottery ticket. It was NOT a winning ticket -- what a surprise. The thought of our girlie earning $1,000/week for the next twenty years did have a certain appeal, but I don't think she'll/we'll be scratching again any time soon.
Our youngest Smithling really wanted to go all out on decorations for her big sister's big celebration, but crepe paper and helium are not things that mean much to the b-day girl. In lieu of party streamers and other b-day decor, I allowed Millie to select a party dress for Jemima. Our kitty girl was not amused, but we were! And it cost much less than a dozen balloons. :-P
Seriously?
Just look at 'Mima's face. Bewilderment.
We think that she knew this dress was really intended for a d-o-g.
We took the b-day girl...er, uh, young woman...and her friends, Kaytlynn and Isabel, to downtown Ft. W. for an afternoon of shopping. First stop? The TX Rangers store! Our girlie was wanting a #18 Mitch Moreland jersey; however, they didn't have any in stock. They could, however, make us one for an additional $70 fee to the already ridiculously high price of a jersey. We opted to search for a cheaper option on-line. Oh! If only Liesey would have won the lottery... Sigh! After we visited a few more stores in Sundance Square, it was time to have dinner.
Our rooftop meal at the Reata was YUMMY!
We returned home to Keller for dessert and presents.
This was such a big birthday celebration, it required TWO cakes. Well, they were small ones. The birthday celebrant and I had made a trip to EatZi's on Saturday to select her dessert. We love the name of this place, and the food they serve up there is all the more reason to love it. Oh, my! It was hard to decide which was tastier -- the chocolate oblivion cake or carrot cake. Repeated tastings were required. No clear winner emerged.
Happy Birthday, Dear Favorite Oldest Daughter! We love you!
