Seventeen: The party

Kenzie had her friends (and a sister!) over on Friday night to celebrate her birthday.

A good group of  good kids.

There was much laughing, eating and having fun.

Her friends possess serious vocal talent! They sang an awesome "Happy Birthday" to her.

They all seemed to have a lot of fun.

Two of the girls stayed the night and I made the traditional "sleepover breakfast" of chocolate chip pancakes.

(Even though we don't technically allow sleepovers anymore, we do make a rare exception for very long term friends)

At one point, when I made her sit down and let us sing to her so she could blow out her candles, Kenzie said she felt like a little kid.

What do you think she meant by that? She is still a little kid. Right? Right?!?!?
