What do you do to celebrate a 16th Birthday on a Sunday during a pandemic?
We started her birthday celebration on Friday and invited her friends to meet us near Waterton on Chief Mountain Highway to take some friend pictures. I asked Taneal Olsen to do Lucy's hair. We totally lucked out on weather in January - sunny, 3 C / 37 F with no wind. It was actually -6C in Cardston when we left home, but it was warmer in Waterton. It was still chilly, but as good as it can get in January.
Her friends looked so cute as they met us up there. Dana Schaffer, Kamree's mom, was our photographer. Friends that came: Taylor Heninger, Kamree Schaffer, Brooke Hardy, Skylie Holland, Allie Leishman, Hallie Pilling, Alyssa Bevans, Raygan Norton
On Saturday Lucy had a few friends over to hang out by our fire. The current pandemic restrictions are that you can have gatherings outside with only 10 people. Another weather blessing for a short time by the fire - it could have been so much colder or snowier.
On Sunday, we had sticky buns, bacon and chocolate milk for birthday breakfast.
Then we got to watch Hanna give a talk in her Spanish ward. She did such a good job. This is definitely one of the blessings of the pandemic is that everything is on broadcast on zoom so we can watch things like this.
We grilled steak and had twice baked potatoes and skor cake for Lucy's birthday dinner with Grandpa & Grandma.
Hanna gets to call on birthdays, so waited until Hanna could call to open presents.
Lucy's theme of birthday gifts was shirts - from me, Jill and Grandma Carol. We also gave her a backpack.
Happy birthday to Lucy - on to driving and dating!!!
