Meagan has really enjoyed acting in a community theater these past few months. She was in the chorus for Seven Brides for Seven Brothers and then she got cast as Sally in Pirates of Penzance...Goes West. She was hilarious!!! She was "the dumb one" as one of the pirates so eloquently put it. It was also quite funny because her pirate counterpart was only 12 and so she would carry him instead of him carrying her. The story is about these 7 orphan sisters that are always sending messages in bottles in hopes that the man of their dreams will find it and come for them. Some pirates come to where they live and the girls fall in love but their uncle won't have it. Through twists and turns the girls end up married to the pirates even though they are disguised as the lawmen. The play was lots of fun to watch and see how Meagan would do. She always got lots of laughs and did a fabulous job!
She wanted to eat at the Hard Rock Cafe for her birthday dinner. There they gave her a sundae and had her stand in front of the entire restaurant and have them all wish her a happy birthday.
Once we got home she was sad that hardly anyone remembered her birthday. They didn't say anything in YW and she was hurt. Her dad and I thought we should have a special dinner for her at home and we decorated her room but didn't tell her. I sent her dad to go and get some helium balloons but he didn't realize there were different sizes and picked out huge ones by accident. It was so funny!!!!! Then we put "Sweet 16" decorations all over her room. She took forever going down there and we were having a hard time waiting but when she finally did she was super surprised. 
I think overall she had a good birthday!!! 
A little side note here as to why she is holding her hair back. When she turned 12 she went to blow out her candles and her hair caught on fire so now takes extra precautions. We don't want that beautiful hair to get burned up again!!!!
