a sweet 16

we had a special birthday
this weekend.
i spent quite a bit of time
planning a surprise for her.
and it was actually
a surprise for me -
that we managed
to pull it off.
she was so surprised,
she cried.
what an awesome response!
it made all the preparations,
and the lying -
worth the effort.
my camera was tied up
with the photo booth.
and truth be told -
i never even thought of taking photos
anywhere else -
i was having so much fun.
so -
i have none from the party,
but, the photo booth was
a big hit ...

i did get some photos 

the next day - 

of the aftermath...

chocolate fountain - set up like cement

the candy bar - emptied
