My 16th birthday party was a great success thanks to all my wonderful friends and family. :)
The night before all 3 of us girls did rag curlers.
The house was quite a sight with three mop heads walking around. :D
 |
| Just un-rolled... |
 |
| A few sneak peeks of the dress I ended up making. :) |
 |
| You'll be able to see more shots of it soon. |
 |
| I'm hoping to use it for a Historical Costume Festival. :) |
 |
| Megan's hair turned out fabulously. :) She wore a circle skirt...I refrained from calling it a poodle skirt as it doesn't actually have one on it. :P |
 |
| Michelle's hair turned out extremely electric. :D I adored it, but she says she looks like the lady on The Princess Bride that says "I'm not a witch I'm your wife. " I couldn't believe how short it made her hair look. lol |
 |
| I simply pulled it back into a barrette 'cause I thought it was to pretty to confine. :D Despite the sweet look on her face she was actually quite horrified with it... lol |
 |
| The lighting is kinda weird in this shot, but she looked to cute to skip it. ;) |
 |
| Onto more serious matters (the food. lol)... |
 |
| Michelle made the cake. And put my favorite thing on it. :D Michelle says she is ashamed at how it turned out, but it was a big hit and everyone loved it so... :P |
 |
| And now to introduce the guests. :) This is the ever fabulous Lauren. |
 |
| My darling cousin Emily, looked dazzling! |
 |
| My amazing cousin Sarah! Emily did an outstanding job on her hair. I was completely in love with it. :D |
 |
| Our dear friend, Nikki, looking adorable! |
 |
| My ever fantastic sister, Michelle. She totally rocked the show with her ensemble. :) |
 |
| My signature photo. ;D |
 |
| Megan, looking her age... *note to Megan loose the watch next time. lol* |
 |
| This girl came all the from Missouri along with our fantastic aunt, Jane. Thanks so much for making the long trip up, it was such a wonderful surprise. :) Lois was a riot and added alot of excitement to the evening. :D |
 |
| A sweet picture. |
 |
| Visiting during the photoshoot. |
 |
| Lauren and I pause for a quick shot. |
There was of course more people here, but only us "young ones" went out for the shoot. :) So thus the lack of photos.
 |
| Nick did the honors of lighting the candles for this special birthday. ;) |
 |
| Smiling for the photographer. |
 |
| Happy with the stunning fabric. Thanks to Anna B. |
 |
| An amazing gift from Aunt Jane. |
 |
| I've already got huge plans for this pattern. Many thanks to Aunt Kristi! |
 |
| Huge thanks to Grandma W. I now own a cool bright green jacket! :D |
I got lots of amazing gifts from lots of awesome friends! Unfortunately we don't have pictures of them all...Anyway. Thanks SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO much everyone!!!!!!!!!!!!!. :) It means more then you know. :)
 |
| Some of the shoes that were seen during the evening. |
 |
| We were all super interested in my new book, The Way They Were Dressed: in the 1860's, from Megan. :) |
We had a blast of a slumber party, as always! :) Some of the girls stayed till about 1 p.m. we took a nice stroll and had a bunch of laughs. :) Nikki was able to stay till late Sunday night so we had a little weeny roast. So over all it was a total hit. ;)
 |
| What my curls looked like brushed out. :) (Its known as my "party hair".) |
 |
| This is like my favorite picture of Michelle ever!!! :) |
 |
| My poor 'little' baby wanted to join the party to... :) Gotta love my, Cody. :D |
 |
| And a few creative shots of our fire. :D |
 |
| Michelle got bored so we had a photoshoot just for the burning stick. lol |
It couldn't have happened without y'all making it such a great time! Thanks again!
Love,
Brooke

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! :)
Great outfits! Ya'll look great! And I LOVE the shoe shot...I really need to get some cute heels! :)
Your curls brushed out look so good, compared to mine... which turns into a complete afro. No joke.
Happy birthday, Brooke! It looks like you had a really fantastic party! What fabric did you get? How do you like your book (The Way They Were Dressed: 1860s)? I've asked for it for Christmas ;)
Awww, what a cool party! I'm having a blast loading everything huge so that I can do some great collages!
It was soo good to finally see what you did, and got, and looked like.. I'm amazed by your dress- I knew you'd do something smashing, I just didn't know what!!
All your presents sound 'perfect', I bet you're just thrilled to death!
I'm glad the whole thing turned out so well!

Happiest of Birthdays dear Brooke! It looks like you had a wonderful time and a great party with lovely friends and family. You all look wonderful although I must admit it is decidedly *strange* to see you NOT wearing hoopskirts and 1860's fashions! :D I don't know if I would have recognized you! The rag curls are darling! And despite what Michelle may have thought, I think she looks stunning with her hair that way and her outfit is awesome!
I had soo much fun on your party, Boorke!!!!
I loved everyones outfits:)
Thanks for the "note" Brooke. hehe I'll have to remember that.
The weinie roast was such a blast too:D
It wouldn't had be near as fun with out Nikki:)
Megan

Victory Again!!
RAY ;))
Thanks so much, Tara! :)
Rachel, I got an embriodered denium for a modern skirt and a cotton print for 1860's. :) The book is amazing. I actually have both volumes and they are a couple of the best books I own. :D
