Katee's best friend Vana turned 16 a few weeks ago! Katee was really bummed she could not be there especially for such a mile stone birthday for a latter day saint girl...so here is what we came up with to help her feel better and let Vana know just how much the whole family loves her and missed being there for her birthday. We call it "birthday in a box". After decorating and celebrating. we printed the pictures, put all the decor in a box and mailed it all to Vana in Idaho. Because it was her 16th birthday we also included a dating survival kit...things that she could use in her everyday but that also that would help her remember who she is and help her with dating...i.e.- tweezers to help her pluck out all the bad guys in her life, chapstick to keep her smiling, a For the Strenght of Youth booklet to remind her of her standards, a mirror to let her see the beautiful girl that she really is, and katee's favorite a first aid kit (with emergency contact list included with all our numbers) to help heal her broken hearts!
We made one for our friend Jessi too, last spring. It is a fun way for us to let our friends and family know we love them and miss them and celebrate their big days too.
Happy 16th Vana! We love you and miss you!
