meggie's big fat 18th birthday!

Our sweet Meggie turned the big 1-8 this year! We are so incredibly proud of all the things our little stinker has accomplished this year. Getting her driver's license, helping plan our Oklahoma vacation, her first job, her second job! ;P She's grown up so much and we just couldn't be more obsessed with her. ;)

For her birthday this year (and Juju's!), we had our favorite bowling + pizza combo in Ennis with the family. It was such a blast! (Literally - we blew up stuff.)

All the boys! (Bowling alley lighting isn't really the best lighting... I do my best! ;P)

A SMILE FROM NICK. (I act like that's a big deal, but I really say, "I'm not taking the picture until you BOTH smile!" because I'm 100% mom.) 

Emily brought her drawing stuff - you know, just in case!

This picture is AMAZING because Tonya was doing an impression of Sadie in an earlier picture (that didn't make the cut... bowling alley lighting! :X) where Sadie was holding a kissy-face for as long as she needed to pose for the picture. ;P Plus, Tonya is adorable. ;D

Sisters!

After a few rounds of bowling, we went back to the hill for pizza, cake and games! Tonya made this amazing fruity cake, which was almost like a bread. It was as yummy as it was beautiful!

(We didn't have candles -- oops! -- but the cake was too purdy to put candles in anyway!)

Meghan got the best present from Stephen (of course!) - her own arrow holder and more arrows!

After dinner, the grown-ups took a little break to Skype with Auntie Marion and Donna! It's always so fun to see them. Technology is amazing! :D

Emily (forever drawing), Richard (playing with Legos, a late birthday gift from Stephen - the Grand Master Uncle, if you ask me) and Sadie (playing with a... coconut?) -- (She went to the grocery store with Dana and Brenda, who were kind enough to indulge her "I wanna coconut!" ;PPP)

With his finished product!

Then everyone moved outside for archery and... blowing up stuff! (See video below... ;P)

I don't know what exactly was going on, but there was a thing with gas (?) against a brick wall, and then the boys shot at it. I'm a girl! (For explosion, jump to the 1:55 mark. ;P)

Another smiling picture!

I LOVE THIS SO MUCH

Happy birthday, Meggie!
