I will never forget my 16th birthday - My parents really went out of their way to make it special for me, and it was a complete surprise. My birthday was on a friday so I was at school that day. A man in a giant pink monkey costume showed up in my science class with a bundle of balloons for me. I also got flowers from some friends (surprises during class were always the most fun - then EVERYONE knew it was your birthday!). At the end of the day, I was on my way out the front doors of my school to catch my bus as usual and there was a limo parked right out front with a huge group of people standing around. The driver was standing outside the limo with a sign with my name on it. It was great! My friends all knew about the limo and had done a great job of keeping it secret from me. Inside, my mom had prepared food trays and there was a gift from my dad - a gold chain with a tiny mouse pendant (He's called me "mouser" since I was a baby and still does today). The limo drove me around to pick up my friends at other schools and then took us back to my house where we just had a movie night and food. It was a really great day. At 16, there's not a whole lot you can do!
Vegas... geez, makes my birthday sound pretty lame.. but that was almost 10 years ago... you know, back in the day.. lol
Ahh.. but enough reminiscing... Have a manicure/pedicure party with your girlfriends! Have someone come to your house for a spa day for you and your friends then go out for dinner that night.... |
