Oh how fast they grow up! My little baby girl Hannah turned 16 on Sunday. What a blessing she has been to us. With the interest that she has in photography, she got a camera for her birthday. She has been taking scenery shots, Senior pictures (of Samuel), many dog photos, and much more.
Rebecca and Dan gave Hannah a book on horses and different breeds. This book now sits on our coffee table.
We had dinner (her favorite BLT sandwiches) with the family, and then travelled out to the Kansas Colliseum for an evening of "barrel racing" with friends and family. Hannah was equipped with her camera at all times.
Many in this group were experiencing culture shock, I'm sure. 
It was quite an event. We all enjoyed a rather radical change of scenery...this is not something we do every day...or any day for that matter!
It really was an exciting sport.
Esther was fascinated by the "doggies" (ie. horses)
The event was a little "short handed" on help, so Samuel volunteered to help set up barrels that were knocked over during the event. Our crowd gave him more applause than even the riders received. (I hope he wasn't embarrassed! ;-)
Once we returned home, we watched the short animated Christmas movie, "Small One", which used to be Hannah's favorite movie when she was a toddler. Afterwards, we had ice cream cake and doughnuts. That should be enough sugar for a month!
Yesterday, we went outside and took her 16 year portraits. This is one of my favorites.
Happy 16th Birthday, Hannah.
