Well, it happened. My sweet little Marquie is 16 years old today. I can't believe it. We had her family birthday party on Sunday. Here's grandpa Dennis giving her her cake.
This is Marquie opening her present from mom & dad. I knew she wasn't expecting anything, so I wondered what her reaction would be. She just looked at the key and smiled and said "Nuh-uh, really?" kind of jokingly. Then when we all sat there, she started running to the front door.
I think she thought it was a joke at first. She didn't say anything, just kept smiling & laughing.
I felt kinda bad for Wade. Bless his heart, he had put a big white bow on it, and as soon as he did it started raining. So by the time Marquie came out, it just looked like a toilet-papered car. Maybe that's why she was acting so unsure.
Okay, maybe this is real.
She was being so.... I don't know, just not freakin out. I mean she was smiling and stuff, but she was pretty calm.
Then finally it sunk in, and then I got the "freak out" I was expecting.
And of course the whole family was there, just they way we like it.
Shayla led them all in "For she's a jolly good fellow". I still don't know why. What happened to the Happy Birthday song? I was so distracted by Marquie's calmness that I forgot to ask.
Happy Birthday Marquie!

I will have you know, I started singing that because Sara said "I think we should sing for she's a jolly good fellow", so I did. And she dares to call me a goon! She was the one that thought of it! I think it made the night though! Good times! Love Marquie Meier! Best girl evs!
I think Shayla and Sara are both goons! Hooray for Marquie and her new car! So fun! Happy Birthday Marq! You are the best!
