Hi! I'm Eren Mckay and I would like to thank you for reading my blog. I provide helpful tips for families in their daily lives and educational resources for teachers.


Since I’ll be 32 this Sunday, I’ve been reminiscing some old photos of my favorite birthday party that I’ve ever had: My Sweet Sixteen party. So I thought I would upload them to give others some ideas on how to organize and decorate your (or your loved ones) sweet sixteen birthday.
Here is the favors table. I made these favors myself with my wonderful neighbor. We made roses out of pink and green glicerine soap and put glitter on them.

Here is the first dress that I wore – which was my gold dress. I wore it until midnight and then changed to my white dress.

Here’s my beautiful and elegant mom next to the cake table :-D

Here is the finger food table that was in the front yard.

We had the tables for the guest in the front yard. The “young people” hung out here.

















Right before the waltz I sung next to the pool.

Here is the arch of balloons at the beginning of the party. (there were 3 arches total in the party)







At midnight I came in with my father to dance the waltz.

    Hi Eren,

    Wow! What great photos and what a time you must have had on your sweet 16th birthday (which was exactly 16 years ago).

    Ah, walking down memory lane, how “sweet” (pun intended) that must be for you and no wonder that this was your favorite birthday party of all because it looks like you went all out for this party!

    Since we are good friends, you’ve shown me a few of these photos already but I’m really happy to see all of the others now.

    Eren, do enjoy your special day tomorrow and may the Lord bless you with many, many more.

    Happy Birthday Eren!

    Happy 32nd birthday Eren from your friends in California,

    With all of our love, hugs and kisses,

    Sharon and Roy

    Hi Kelli,
    Thanks!
    Yeah I had the dress made and each detail of it was hand picked. It was a lot of work but so worth it in the end. Hey – all little girls dream of their Diva Day ;-)

    x ♥ x ♥,
    Eren
