Happy 17th birthday, Willow!

 Willow had a whole Pinterest board for her 17th birthday! Hopefully all of her visions came true! 


She picked a Mexican restaurant for her birthday lunch since her party was on her actual birthday and her friends would be over for dinner. We told the waiter because we heard someone else being sung to and saw they got a dessert. We weren't expecting this! (insert panic when some whipped cream dropped on her new dress that she was keeping on for her party later in the day!)


We went with a cake lady who was recommended by a coworker. She matched Willow's cake picture perfectly and the cake was insanely good (and she was super kind!)!!
A friend from church came over to make this balloon arch similar to what she'd found on Pinterest. It was all about the pictures!!
A colleague of mine made this banner for her with a combination of her ideas from Pinterest. It turned out great (also for pictures!)!
Charcuterie boards:
She invited friends from youth group. The friends who were able to come were super kind and well-mannered...my favorite to have over! The boys were even good sports with all the pictures and posing!
A small sampling of the 118 pictures on my phone:
She had two of her closest friends spend the night. Here's a "next morning" picture:
