It's So "Sweet" To Be 16

 

The ever anticipated "Sweet 16" birthdays can never be taken too lightly.  My daughters came up with their color scheme and theme for their birthday party to celebrate with friends, three months ago. (I can't imagine where they get their pre-planning from).  Once I received my direction, I started searching out plans, ideas, etc...it all finally came to reality this weekend.
