SWEET 16!!!

We're 16!! so rachel and i had a sweet 16 birthday party and it wasn't like those birthdays that you see on the tv but this one was fun and exciting with all my japanese friends that i met..even though they're not all japanese.lol. We had a blast! the first game we played was rachel's idea. we went outside without our shoes and socks which was freezing and we tied our shoes to the back of us or put them in our back pockets and ran around trying to get everyone elses without letting someone get our own. then after a couple games we were freezing so we went in side and played pass the magical present around. the game where this one prize is wrapped in layers and each layer someone has to do something. almost all of them but one or two had to deal with food. like poor rachel had to eat nasty disgusting fish eggs:p after that game we played the game where there are two teams and you have to each put a layer of snow gear(gloves, hat, shirt, and shorts) and then run to the table and try cutting a hersheys bar and eating a chunk then each teammate would do the same until the whole bar is gone. since we were all sweaty after playing that we went outside and played the shoe game again. after that they lit the cake and rachel, miki(her birthday is the same as rachel's) and myself all blew out the candles. we had cake and ice cream also some pop. then we talked for a while and some played wii. it was about 5 something and everyone had to go home so we all walked to hongo station and took some last minute pictures and said goodbye. when we got home after dinner gabbi, dani, and alex came over again and we opened up my parents' gifts for us and we opened up gifts that we got for each other. it was an awesome day and the gift we got together from my parents was a day with japanese ladies and wearing kimonos! we had a blast when we got to go do that too!
