There’s nothing sweeter than a girl’s 16th birthday party and, for Rowena, it was as sweet as pink cotton candy!

The night began at the The San Carlo with a grand entrance from the beautiful birthday girl, followed by a rose dance with 16 significant men in her life (first being her father). Then there was the lighting of 16 birthday cake candles by 16 significant women in Rowena’s life (first being her mother), a wonderful slide show, and a full night of dancing! Now that’s how you throw a Sweet 16!

Daniel and I don’t get to be around teenagers much, so we must say that it was refreshing to be in the midst of so many young and restless souls dancing the night away like there’s no tomorrow! Ah, to be 16 again! The age of discovery, rebellion, and giving my parents a heart attack in the car with my brand new permit!

A big thank you to DJ, Rowena, and her loving parents for allowing us to be a part of such a beautiful occasion! Happy birthday Rowena!! 🙂
