Happy 17th, Maren!

Maren decided that her birthday present for herself was that she would finally take the driver's test and get her license!  She's been ready to take it since Spring, but she was nervous about taking it and kept putting it off.  She only made one error in her road skills test and aced the written exam, so we decided to reward her with a new car!  Here it is! 
Actually, this is one of the trucks on the Symons farm, but she said she would be thrilled to have it!  She's not picky, I guess.  Del said he used to drive this old truck when he was about 14 and worked on the farm.  It has the starter on the floor, so it might take Maren a little practice before she gets the hang of it. 

As usual with teenage girls, most of Maren's birthday presents were clothes.  I told her to try them on so I could see if they fit, so she did ... all at the same time. Lovely outfit!
 She loved her Doctor Whoville shirt with the 11 doctors around the tardis.  Emma even made her a tardis gift box to wrap it in.
 Emma's already begging to borrow the fox in glasses sweater.  Goofy but cute!  Kind of like Maren.:)
