Birthday Weekend


Our sweet Lissie turned 17 yesterday. She woke up to a waffle-strawberries-fresh whipped cream birthday breakfast before the boys headed out to help with an Eagle project. We met up with them again a few hours later for birthday lunch at Cafe Rosso in downtown Heidelberg. Christian and Bryant then drove (Christian can legally drive now, remember?) to their jazz band performance at the Village Pavilion, and Tracy and I took Lissie up to the Loop 5 Mall in Frankfurt for a three hour shopping adventure wherein she traded much of her birthday money for H&M stylishness. Hmmm ... we could have stayed in Heidelberg for that!

Oh, and the birthday celebrations turned into "weekend" celebrations mostly because I hadn't had time to make her cake (a.k.a. cherry pie) yet. We saved the cherry pie making, singing, and blowing out of candles for today!

Here are some pictures to commemorate her special day:

Happy Birthday, Lissie!
