Happy 15th Birthday Caitlin!

Caitlin's first time behind the wheel

Yep Caitlin is officially 15 years old. It feels like she just showed up just a little while ago yet I can barely remember life without her around. I think she would tell you (if she were the one typing) that she had a pretty great birthday today. It all started this morning when Lee took her and 2 friends (Amy and Makayla) to the mall so they could go see Pirates. After Pirates the 3 girls all went to eat lunch at Tony Romas which is located in the same mall. We knew what time they would be eating so we called the restaurant and asked the waiters if they could take a brownie dessert to the table and sing Happy Birthday to Caitlin. They did and Caitlin was amazed that it all got arranged without any of them knowing. We went to pick them up and listened to the 3 girls giggle all the way home. Some things never change no matter how old they get! On the way home we stopped to pick up Lee's car which was parked at the mini mart about 1/4 of a mile away from our house. Caitlin joked offhandedly about driving the car home so Lee called her bluff. Before we knew it she had the keys and under the watchful care of the daddy was driving the Mazda home. Yikes!! Caitlin got her first taste of driving on her birthday. I'm afraid to say that now I think shes hooked! Later we celebrated at home with friends and Caitlin got a purse she has been wanting as well as hair tools and candy from her sisters. All in all it's been a good day. Happy Birthday Mert!
