Happy 6th Birthday Alyssa!!!

Alyssa is SIX today! She had a great day and was so super happy. We started the celebration last night when Grandpa and Grandma Campbell took us out to Chevy's...Alyssa's choice. They sang to her and gave her this sombrero which she thought was so cool. She got the cutest outfits for her new doll that Grandma made, a new backpack and a new outfit for herself too! (my camera ran of batteries at Chevy's so we didn't get pictures there. This was taken this morning).

This morning she opened presents which consisted of mostly American Girl stuff, her newfound love. Or obsession. She got a bed, a dress, a soccer outfit, and a new watch. She also re-got her Skechers. :-) She got those a little early for mom's sanity. :-) Pics taken this morning turned out really dark, so there aren't many unfortunately.


Then she went to school and brought cupcakes. I bought THIS for the occasion and I am so in love with it. I figure I will get a lot of use out of it bringing cupcakes to school 3 times a year and for other functions needing cupcakes. Then after school she came home to a candy and balloon decorated room which she just thought was the coolest surprise ever. Then she went out with Mom and Dad where she got ALL of our undivided attention, which she loved. She picked dinner, Wendy's, and then Leatherby's for dessert. We put 6 candle's in her ice-cream and sang her Happy Birthday (quietly) and she blew them out. (I'm so mad I forgot my camera!! I really struggled with capturing this day). When I was tucking her in bed tonight she said she "didn't want her birthday to end, it was the best birthday she's ever had." Melted my heart. She is so sweet and well out of the terrible 3's and 4's (my personal terrible 2's) and we are having so much fun together lately. Love you 'lyss!!
