Our oldest granddaughter Anne Marie just turned 16. The family came over, and we had some spring desserts and gifts. I made this tray of goodies.
Some Peeps & candy eggs
And I made nests with this edible grass and put candy eggs inside.
Among other things, we gave her this gift card shaped like a bunny. They all thought it was so cute!
Our granddaughter Dara had just gone to the beauty salon for the first time and gotten her hair cut & styled.
And here is the birthday girl herself. She is now so much taller than me, has a job, and is learning to drive.

Happy Birthday Anne Marie. That bunny shaped gift card is so neat. I've never seen one like that.
I forgot to say that your dessert tray looks delicious.

Happy Birthday to Anne Marie. It doesn't seem possible that she is now sixteen.
Beautiful grandchildren! Happy sweet 16 to that beautiful young lady!
Awwww! This is all so precious, Ginny! What a happy occasion. That edible grass had me like whaaaa??? I need some of that in my life! And aren't the Starbucks shaped gift cards just the cutest? I bought some wreath-shaped ones for stocking stuffers last Christmas. Happy Sweet Sixteenth Birthday to Anne Marie! xoxo

Happy birthday to your lovely granddaughter! And what a colorful array of tasty treats. And edible Easter basket grass!!! I did not know there was such a thing!
You have beautiful granddaughters.
Happy Birthday to your granddaughter, Ginny. What a nice tray of goodies you made for the occasion. Young people love those gift cards. That was a smart idea to get her that. Those Peeps and candy eggs look Yummy. It reminds me to get some Easter candy at the store before it's all gone haha. And a cute photo of you and the birthday girl. Sweet 16 is such a special birthday.
