Sweet Seventeen!

Wow!  It's hard to believe I'm 17 already.  To be honest it doesn't feel any different than 16 and 15 did :)
So, Monday was my birthday, and I spent most of it doing school and being stuck upstairs while my cake was being made.  It ended up being a great day though.  My grandparents and cousins all popped in and stayed for some of the evening to celebrate with me.

Sorry I don't have a good picture of my cake, but it was really pretty ;)
To start off the morning, though, I turned on the radio to hear my name on the birthday list.  To my great surprise and delight, i was announced as the birthday gift card winner!

MY REACTION:

I let out a really loud squeal and raced down the stairs shouting the whole way.  Lucky no one was still sleeping cause they wouldn't be after I was done ;)

But anyway, here's some birthday pics:

 Don't you just love when trick candles are put on your cake???  They dont blow out!

Confetti cake with oreo filling...Mmmmm!  But sickening.  My peice was a little too big ;)
