Double Digits

Alyssa is now ten! The big 10. This girl has always been an old spirit, a little wise beyond her years. But I love that she still likes all things girly and sweet, and dolls and such. Since she was tiny, she has always stayed a faithful and sweet shadow and companion to me, which has been fun. We joke that she is me on the inside and David on the outside. She loves to shop and read and do math and be domestic, but on the outside she looks like her dad and runs like her dad :)

For her birthday she wanted a lateover/sleepover with her friends. I asked if she wanted to take them somewhere exciting, go out and do something, but nope she just wanted a home party. So we played some fun games (blind bowling, make puppy laugh, oink piggy oink, glow-in-dark hide and go seek with teams) and had dinner, made a yummy vanilla cake with cream cheese frosting, gave the girls fake nails, and her dad surprised her with Just Dance 3, (thanks Halls, Widdisons and Blairs) so we did that too :) It was a really fun easy party.



Next day was the Castle Bounce house party which she shared with Uncle John. The kids loved it. We had Hawaiian haystacks and various chocolate cakes, and the kids just danced together, then ran outside to jump in the bounce house, then again and again more of the same. She got spoiled by her G & G Johnstun and got a green wiggle car, which she loves. And a walking pup
from us :)


Then Sunday she got to spend time with the Blair side and we celebrated 4 cousins at once! We had a pasta bar and peanut butter chocolate cake, and watched a fun magic show put on by the cousins. Fun weekend for Alyssa!


I love my Alyssa with all my heart and she is lots of fun to have around. I think we'll keep her :)
