And the years go flying by...

 I used to say when the kids were little that the days lasted forever but the months flew by. Now it seems like years are passing us at the speed of light. It doesn't seem like it's possible that it has been 16 years since this picture was taken...my little peanut. Born 5 pounds and 6 ounces...the tiniest thing I had ever seen...we had to fold over the newborn diapers to fit. She went home in preemie clothes

 But 16 years have passed. And last Saturday night we partied in style.  Here is Alexa getting ready with her friends who flew in from Massachusetts to spend the week with her.

We ate upstairs in a room that looked out over all of Barcelona. Then, we went down to the Disco for the dancing.

The evening was a great success. A good time was had by all. And my little peanut felt like a princess for the night. What more could we want.
