Happy Birthday, Kylie!

On July 10th, my dear friend Kylie turned 15. Kylie is such an amazing friend. She is so fun, she is pretty, godly, she loves to act, sing, dance, hang out with friends, she encourages others, and just loves to have fun (hey, double the fun stuff! She is fun, and loves having fun! 8D). She befriended me, which is a gift from God, and through her, I have met many people who I am friends with now. Thank you for being awesome, Kylie!

She had a party and we played some fun games, hung out on the swing/bench debating, ate s'mores, watched fireworks, and played (or at least attempted to play) volleyball.

Ha ha We all (the girls, that is) squished onto the poor swing for a group picture. 8D

We had a bunch of snacks and there were lots of presents!!

I'm not sure if Kylie has ever made one that you have seen, but these are amazing! She will write/color words you say, things you do, phrases you like, words that fit your personality, and more onto a piece of paper, and she is such an amazing artist! They are just sooooooooo cool! I love them. I will just stare at it forever. 8D 8D

Jenna took this pic of me. =) She's so good at this! 8D

And look at her pretty necklace! 8D

Kylie's younger sister made this cake for us. She is so sweet! We enjoyed watching Kylie blow the candles out (XD), then had fun eating the 'slices'. 8D

Then she opened her presents! The lighting wasn't that good when she did, but God was gracious (when isn't He? 8) ) and let me get this cute shot of her reading a card.

And please please please please please don't feel left out or unloved if you were not invited! That was not her intention at all.

The next day, we walked the dogs for a couple minutes. On Kylie's request, and in her honor, I will put these pictures up. (ha ha, and this is also an inside joke 8D)

She has such cute dogs!
