Lexi's 18th Birthday

For Lexi's birthday, we went to Applebees for dinner - her favorite restaurant. Kaylyn was able to show up and surprise Lexi, even though Dad almost blew the surprise in the car on the way! There was lots of yummy food (boneless chicken wings, quesadillas, oriental chicken salad, etc.) and presents to open.

Mom and Dad surprised Lexi with tickets to the Taylor Swift concert in May.

Kaylyn got her a Twilight bag with Edward on it - Lexi said she was going to sleep on it! And Aleah got her some soap which, after opening, Lexi said, "Hey! Are you saying I stink and need to use soap?" Well....

Tonight, Lexi had a party here at the house. She told me she invited about 40 friends but not to worry because they wouldn't all show up. Guess what? They all showed up! Good thing I cleaned out the grocery store this afternoon. Cooper had a hay day with all those kids here and all the food!!!! He was salivating all night. And he only managed to chew up a few shoes. Just kidding, but he sure would have liked to.

Lots of shoes for Coop to choose from.

"Can I have some?"
