sweet sixteen

we were invited to a birthday dinner.  our friend's daughter, aadishri, just turned 16 years old.  i adore this family and enjoy spending time with them.  so, it was a honour to attend the celebration.  we ate at a local restaurant called west, where the food is always delicious.  i don't think i have never had an unsatisfying meal there.  the company has never been unsatisfying either!

this is the birthday girl.  she is smart, talented at anything she does (i.e playing the drums, sewing, jewellery making, cooking), and beautiful.  i love that she is in our life and kai has a 'big sister' role model!

kai challenged us to a drawing contest. the birthday girl did not draw the best tank yet the judge, kai, crowned her the winner. he whispered to me that he did so because she was the birthday girl. my sweet, thoughtful boy!

the image below was taken the morning after we had a sleepover sometime last year.  i love this image of the four of them with the sunlight shining on them.
