Alyssa's Birthday


Shann had the day off on Alyssa's birthday, so we had a whole day of celebration, starting off with her birthday cereal of choice, Fruity Pebbles. Then we spent a gift card at Toys'R'Us, and then went to Monkey Joes, an inflatable place, where Shann and I sat in giant cushy recliners, and the kids jumped to their heart's content.
That evening, we had a foster care class, so Grammy and Poppy came over to babysit, and brought Reid!
A bit rushed this year, I made cupcakes in the shape of a 6, with this poor little cake left over. Of course its the one in the picture.
Grammy got her a suitcase for Kit's (American Girl Doll) things! With other treasures inside.
We also gave Reid his birthday gift. Alyssa is trying to explain it to him!

Next day, she and her animals are listening to princess songs on her new CD player in her new dress that matches Kit!
**note the giant stuffed unicorn that was picked at Toys'R'Us with her gift card. I thought I did an admirable job of not manipulating what she chose. :)
