Kaelei Is Finally 16!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thankyou everyone!!!!!!!! I had a wonderful birthday! Its weird to think that I am actually 16 I never thought the day would come! I can DATE yay! Oh and I can't forget I get to DRIVE! I think my parents are a little scared for those! ok not a little, ALOT! Ok so I didn't get to writing on my blog yesterday because I was tiered from all the days events! And here its how it went. So I was sleeping when Katharina came into the room at about 7:30 and woke me up saying Happy Birthday and said I needed to come downstairs. So we all went downstairs and on the table was a wonderful birthday cake and presents all set out on the table! I then sat down and blew out my candles and then we ate cake for breakfast. It was so yummy! Then I opened my gifts from their family. I got a picture frame with pictures of me swimming its so cool! and I got Puma brand FLIP FLOPS they are black and pink and sooooooooo cute! Then I opened my gift that was sent to me from my family. I got a CTR ring and CTR earings! (I wonder if they were trying to hint to me to be a good girl especially now that I can date he he.) They are awesome! After that I made No Bake Cookies for the party. Then Laura, Anna and I played cards. Then while we were waiting for the potatoes we were listening to the Mamma Mia CD again and we were being dorks and having a blast dancing around the kitchen again. Ha ha I think we now have all the songs memorized after listening to the Cd over 15 times in the last 2 days. Then we finished getting the house ready for the guests then they all started coming. After they had all shown up we got on our bikes and went over to Cloudia's to pick up her and her guests and then we rode to a lake! When we got there we ate lots of sweets and many other things. The weather was good but not extreamly warm but Anna, Laura, Cloudia, 2 of her guests Ines, Mieke and I all got in the freezing water! we had so much fun jumping in and getting back out, then doing it all over again. I think the rest of the guests thought we were all crazy because it was so cold! But it was so much fun! After we warmed up and got dressed we sat around and talked to eachother. I got to know people alot better and I got to meet some new friends of Cloudia's it was so much fun! After we rode our bikes home and we went in the backyard and ate some more and talked then people started leaving. Later on we still had some other guests and we decided to go to the park. It was lots of fun playing on all the stuff. Then after everyone else had left we went back to Anna's I opened my presents I got many things. I got Lots of chocolate yay! a cell phone holder, A burgdorf book, flowers, more chocolate, and I even got another cake! After I had opened my gifts I rode my bike to Quinn's to call and talk to my family! It was nice to hear from them! I guess the YW back home brought me balloons. Which is sooooo cool! After I came home and I went up and got in bed I was so tiered! It was the best 16th Birthday a girl could ask for!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY KAELEI!!!!!!!!!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, YOU OLD LADY! Now you are officially allowed to date. How does it feel? How was your party? I hope it was awesome. Sorry I couldn't be there for it.

Monday!!

Today I woke up at 11:15 then we ate a light breakfast. Then we went to the store and bought all the things that we would need for the lunch. While we were there we bought Mamma Mia the CD! We were so excited to listen to it. So we rode our bikes home fast and put it in the player and started to sing. We then cooked Waffles for lunch they were so yummy. After we danced around and sang at the top of our lungs it was so much fun! We listened to the CD 3 or 4 times. After that we invited Sara to come over and play cards. We laughed so hard while playing all the games we are going to have sore stomaches in the morning. While we played cards Katharina baked things for the party tomorrow. After Sara went home, we ate soup and bread for dinner. Then I sat down and read my book. Now I really want to go to bed so the morning will come sooner! IM SO EXCITED!!!! Night!

Sunday!!!!!!

Today I woke up at 8:00 and got ready for church. Then I got a ride to church with Quinn's inlaws they are very kind people. Today there were 2 other girls in Young Womens. YAY! I have been the only girl for the past 2 weeks. The main reason for this is, its summer time and everyone is gone on vacation. Anyways we had a wonderful lesson and the lady who taught the lesson did it in English, And she did really well. After church I came back and Katharina took me to a flee market that was happening so that I could look for some things that I have been looking for. We had great success and got some stealing deals. After we came back home and we went to a BBQ for one of Katharina's collegues Birthday. She was a very nice lady and so was her family and friends. Then we came home and we watched a Germany CSI type film with an actor who just turned 70. I didn't understand, one because I don't speak German and two we started watching it a little after it started. But still it was good! Now its like 10 ish and we are getting ready to go to bed. Love you all!!!!

Saturday

Today I woke up and the two crazy cute little boys, Katharina and Dirk were downstairs playing. They had already been up a few hours. So I watched them play while I ate breakfast. After breakfast we rode our bikes to the..... oh man I can't remember the name oh well I will explain it. It was a market where people bring their animals (bunnies, chickens, gooses, horses, etc.) and they sell them. They also have other shops and stuff around. It was really fun. It was quite an adventure to go there by bike with two little boys. They like to be wild thats for sure. After we got home. While I waited for the the lunch to cook I finished my book " A Walk to Remember" its so cute! When lunch was done cooking we ate lasagna with Katharina's sister and her boys. It was very yummy. After I got to meet Katharina's parents they were very nice people. Her dad went out and fixed my breaks. YAY! no more crashes. Later after everyone had left I started a new book " The Da Vinci Code". Then Laura came home from her trip. I was very happy to see her. Then we talked a little bit and then had bread and cheese for dinner, and now we are going to bed. Night everyone.

Books!!!!!!

Friday: Today we woke up and took our time getting ready for the day and then Anna and I rode our bikes to the store and got some stuff. Then we came back and I decided I was going to read my book for English and she wanted to watch Tv. So I read for a few hours and I finished my book. Hooray!! Then I went with Katharina to the store and we bought the stuff I needed for the dinner I was going to make. We also bought a few things for my birthday party. When we came home Katharina's nephew's were here. They are staying with us overnight because Anna's aunt (their mom), is taking Anna to the opera tonight(in congratulations for her conformation back in April). So we had an adventrous afternoon with these cute little boys, we fixed the breaks on my bike wahoo! and the boys rode their bikes around but then it started raining so we came in and I made BLT sandwiches for Katharina and the Boys. They liked it very much! After I sat down and started a new book and the boys played with their cars. Everyone was very tiered so they decided to go to bed, and I have been reading my book but now I think I will go to bed!
