Seth had several parties for his 16th birthday. On Saturday, October 16th, he had a combined party with his marching band section mate, Emily. Emily turned 16 on the 19th and since they have many of the same friends from band, they planned a combined party at Emily's house. There were about 28 kids who came to Emily's house to celebrate and have fun. In lieu of gifts, Seth and Emily asked the attendees to bring donations to Hope House, a battered womens and children's shelter. We were overwhelmed by the response of the kids to this request as were the folks at Hope House when Emily and her mom delivered the donations on Tuesday morning. They were so impressed that the kids did this for their 16th birthday that they're going to write an article for the local newspaper.
On Sunday, October 17th, we went to Aunt Sharon and Uncle Brad's house to have a family celebration. Grammy was in town from PA for this celebration. This year Seth requested that Uncle Brad make beef tacos and chicken enchiladas for his birthday dinner. Mom and Grammy made apple pie for dessert.
On Monday, October 18th, Seth celebrated his birthday with his friends from church at their Core meeting that evening.
By the way, Seth did get a car for his birthday - a [matchbox] BMW.
