Cousin Sarah's 16th Birthday Party!!!

The Birthday Girl!!! This is our niece Sarah, she turns 16 at the end of this month.
Emma tried her hand at playing the piano. Nancy Lynn(Sarah's mom) let the kids play the piano.
She was very gentle with the piano keys, so much so that Catie had to show her that she could press a little harder.
Henry had a go at playing the piano too. They were trying to read the sheet music from the Twilight score(s) that the girls had out.
Emma goofing around with Catie. She loves her cousin Catie!
Henry and Sarah! They are always buddies when we have family gathering or outings. Henry loves his Sarah!
Playing Dicecapades with the big kids. This is one of our favorite games to play when we are all together. It's a lot of fun!

We had a great time last night at the Allen/Martin house in McKinney! Sarah decided that she just wanted to have a family party for her 16th birthday. So we all gathered at the house for some snacks, cake and ice cream, and presents. As usual, it was great being with the family. And it was especially great celebrating Sarah's 16 birthday. She is a wonderful young lady and we love her so very much! Happy 16th Birthday, Sarah!!!
