Our baby, yes BABY GIRL turned 9!!
Seriously, where did the time go?
Alissa had a great birthday this year. She had been wanting to go to 7 peeks for a long time, but with only two free passes and two extra seats in the car, she decided on a birthday party instead. She got lunch out with mom at Wingers and then later had a fun party with her friends. They started out with a coloring contest and then pin the tail on the donkey. Alissa really wanted this game and not just some knock off version like "put the crown on the princess" or something, she wanted ONLY the real thing! They then did gifts with a fun game where each girl bopped Alissa on the head saying "happy birthday" in a silly voice and Alissa got to guess who said it. If she guessed right, she got to open it. If she guessed wrong, they went back to the end of the line. That was fun! We then had some time before Grammy made it to our house with some ice for ice cream, so they went out to play "Red Rover" and the girls were out giggling and having a blast. Grammy showed up with the ice around 5pm, so we got started on home made ice cream (three simple ingredients : half and half, vanilla and I added coconut sugar). The girls all loved it and the gluten free cupcakes I made (that was my goal!) and they ended by running around in the cemetery for a little bit. So it was a successful birthday party! We had spaghetti and meatballs with Grammy and Grandpa Greg for dinner and played some cards games that Grammy gave Alissa and had a great time!
Some of Alissa's favorite things right now are :
* Stuff animals and baby dolls (still)
* Being creative (at night when everyone else is ready for bed, she plays and creates and makes a mess. Every. Single. Night!)
* Pre-teen (and even teen) shows like "Good Luck Charley" and "Wizards of Waverly Place" and pop music!
