Turning 14 and Birthday Bash on the Beach

This past Saturday we celebrated our Goddaughter's First Communion and then yesterday our oldest daughter turned 14 years old!

I really can't believe it!  Is she really that old?  Wait a minute, am I really that old to have a 14 year old? :) It seems like it was yesterday that my hubby and I looked this young holding our first born who was so tiny and sweet!  She's still sweet and now tall! 

Last night we hit the beach with a few of my daughter's friends to celebrate her special day.  My daughter wanted a cheesecake so Sam's Club helped me out in the cake department :)  I can't say I really missed making a homemade cake for my daughter this year, but I did get to use my imagination and creativity with the food thanks to Pinterest! :)  

The "Sunbathers in a Blanket" were just pigs in a blanket that I made with cut-up hot dogs and biscuits.  Those are covered with foil in the above table picture.

All the girls and my children went swimming in the ocean despite the cool temps and wind.  Here are some pictures from our fun birthday celebration:

 It was a fun evening celebrating the life of our now 14 year old daughter!
