meghan is sixteen

So, it's a good 1 month and 4 days late, but here it is! Meghan's birthday post! This year, Meggie turned 16, and we can hardly believe our eyes. Our sweet Meggie who makes cakes when she's in a bad mood, makes kick-ass grades, and takes Halloween costumes very seriously. Our darling girl who wants to spend 25 hours a day with her boyfriend but who is still her daddy's biggest fan. Our beautiful little meat-head who eats her salad and knows how to calm her siblings down like no one else.

Meghan's been so busy this year moving in with us and learning how to be the Best Meghan She Can Be. She goes and sees her Mema every minute she can and has learned to sew something fierce. Her hair has been a million differently colors (practically) and many of our (cutest) (memories) this year are all due to her make-up collection. Right now she's super into anime, ice cream, and not emptying the dishwasher. Her younger sisters think she is quite literally the coolest person who's ever drew breath and she's super fun to try new foods with!

This year for Meggie birthday, she requested a bar-b-que dinner (gurl's got taste) with the family. In lieu of cake, she asked for brownies and thus we made a brownie mountain! (Or "Mount Brownie-ist!" as Emmy called it!) For her Kylie Birthday Date, we went and saw "Kick-Ass 2" which we loooved, and even stopped by Seasons 52 so she could try any dessert she wanted (we're all about that pecan pie!).

Meggie, you are without questions the coolest 16 year old we know. You're so sweet to give me hugs in bed all the time, and I always love seeing what you're going to wear. Thanks so much for eating your veggies so often and trying new face/skin things with me. I feel like I hardly see you any more now that you have a laptop in your room, but we always enjoy listening to the new music you bring to us (again, gurl's got taste). I know I'm drive you crazy when I nix soda for the rest of the night and ask you to get the towels off the floor, but never underestimate how much we appreciate you for everything you do and everything you are for our strange little family. You're such a shining light into our eyes, and it blows our minds to see how much you grow every single day. Just in case you can't tell, we love you so fucking hard.
