Adrianna Gregory of Grand Rapids, on left, gets a hug from her mom, Libra Gregory, and little sister, Tyesha, 12, after making her grand entrance to her dream Sweet 16 party Friday at the Salvation Army Kroc Center. Adrianna’s great aunt, Jo Ann Gregory, requested the party as a Thanksgiving wish to reward Adrianna for taking care of her five siblings while her single mom works.
