September 22, 2014- Morgan’s 18th

Happy 18th to my girl, MP!! Morg turned 18 yesterday…I’m happy, but i’m old. Hahaha

Let me just start by saying, y’all. My sister is so pretty!!

When our family was weeeee little, Morgan and I were the BEST of pals. I can’t remember not doing something with her, and we have about a jillion pictures to prove so.

When I started growing up, I became too cool for my family….i’m sure you know how that works. So, Morgan and I weren’t as close, but recently we’ve become besties again. About 50% of the time we are told we either look like twins or we look absolutely nothing alike. I don’t know, i’ll let you be the judge of that.

Personally, I think she looks more like this:

Hey, Morg. Thanks, I heart you too!

 

Morg will be the first person to play a prank on you. (Excuse my heinous hair blowing in the wind. I totally look like a male), but this is the only picture of her pretending to cut the rope while my parents were parasiling. Wink, wink.

Or dig into dessert.

   

I envy Morgan for her total go with the flow attitude. I wish I could be more like that.

  

(note…neither of us chose those dresses above. hahah)

Unluckily, her birthday fell on a Monday so guess what??? She gets to go to school all day.

“Yaaaaaaay school”

But when she gets home at 2:00 it’s time for a birthday breakfast mixed with a birthday lunch. Donuts and Beef Stroganoff. SO WEIRD!

The only time all six of us were home together last night was from 6:30-6:45 so that was designated present time.

I wasn’t lying..see the clock says 6:38. Rick got her a new Vera Bradley wallet keychain thing.

Ryan got her the jacket she has on to match the LuLulemon headband he is wearing.

P.s. can I just say look how pretty she looks and this is before she’s about to go to soccer practice for 2 hours. Such a natural beauty!!

Dad got her a Michael Kors watch!!! And she was totally not expecting it. My goober dad does not know how to pose for a picture so the best I can get is him talking….sigh. Males sometimes.

Mom got her oreos!!!!! Ha, kidding. Mom got her a life proof case early, so she just gave her these on her birthday.

And me????? What did I get her?

I made her Olaf!!!!!!! I know, I don’t have a career in cake baking, but this is the best I could do. I think she liked Mr. Olaf cake 🙂 She loves Olaf and Frozen, and when I was pinteresting the other day I saw him and just knew it had to happen.

And no, that’s not all I got her…

I bought her tickets to see her man Luke!! She wanted Luke Bryan tickets, so she took her friend and they went Saturday night. She said she had fun, so i’m really happy!

And when she got back from soccer practice last night I heard her coming in and went to say hi 🙂

And first thing she said was “let’s eat cake” so we lit her candles and she made her wish.

And nobody was feelin’ cake that late last night so she dug in alone.

And immediately after that she had to work on a project for her government class. The hard life of an 18 year old….but I still think she enjoyed her day and that’s all that mattered! I love birthdays!!
