Sweet Sixteen and a trip to Florida

Its hard to believe my oldest niece just turned 16. She was the first granddaughter for my parents and the first niece for me and my sister. She stole our hearts from the start and taught us about unconditional love. My parents, sister and myself decided to do a quick road trip and help her with her Sweet 16.

I met up with my parents and sister around St. Louis and we started the long journey to Florida. We tried to take our time and enjoy the trip. One of the stops had a cool rocket so of we had to take pics...












My niece is very creative and very talented. She made most of her decorations and  knew exactly what she wanted. So, once we arrived and with the help of a few others we got to work and put together the cutest party. Her dad (my brother) is a pastor and since her guest list was pretty big they decided to have it in the church fellowship hall. She went with a "Vintage Theme" and had everyone dress up in the 20s-50s attire. The following pictures her from the party.

The Hill Girls

 and the cutest costume goes to...this cute kiddo!!!!

I wished I had taken more pictures. The kids (teens..lol) all dressed up so cute and she had such an amazing turn out. The games were very fun and the food was fabulous. I think it is safe to say she had a very Sweet 16. 

The remainder of our trip involved church, shopping and  goodbyes....






 We had and amazing trip and like all trips, it ended way to soon. It was a blessing to be with my brother and his family. We live way too far apart and do not get to see each other much. So, it's times like these we hold on to and cherish. I'm very fortunate to have a close family.
