Last weekend Dakota finally hit that milestone on March 12th, 2011!
I started out the day by waking him up very early and taking him to breakfast just the two of us to the Blue Plate Diner. I saw it on Food Networks Diners, Drive In's and Dives so I thought it would be fun to try it out.
We had a great time eating and visiting.
Dakota is a great kids who stays out of trouble and doesn't really ask for much and is always so grateful for what he has. He's the boy at 16 years old that is not afraid to tell me he loves me on the phone each and every time we talk. He thanks us each time we give him a ride to the skate park or over to a friends house. He's just a good kid. And Michael and I are both so proud of the young man he is becoming.
After breakfast we came home and I gave him his gift $100 in $1 bills. He was very excited because he knew what he wanted to buy...Yes a new skateboard!
On Sunday we had a party for him, with his friends and family!
Sunday night he told me "This was the best Birthday ever"!
I sure do love this kid!
