It is Alyssa's 4th birthday today. We just got back from the Yellow Park. I am soooo tired. Alyssa crawled in her bed and went to sleep. I cannot belive it has been 4 years that she has been with our family. It seems like forever yet just like yesterday. I love that little girl with my whole heart!

She had her birthday party on Saturday. It was a ton of fun. Although very stressful because it rained and we had to last min figure out where to have our party and call everyone. It all worked out wonderful though.

Here are some pictures.

before the party

Oh my... I have to tell you all a VERY funny story about this... I let her lick the candle... she ATE IT! She bit the end of it! Her face was priceless! she told me she thought there was a chunk of cake on it. I felt awful for her but at the same time it was the funniest thing I ever saw!!!

This is my mom with the camera and dh is behind Alyssa

A Dress Up Outfit she got

My PRINCESS went from loving dinosaurs to ninja turtles, this is a drawing she did

She got ninja turtles for her birthday too!

Then this morning on her real birthday we gave her our gifts. A colorform dora set, a clipboard with art stuff (secret homeschool idea - take work outside ) and a gumball bank thing.

Oh and some blue gum!

And I took her to the park

Wow that was a lot of pictures! I am sorry but thanks for looking.

And Happy Birthday to my Alyssa Jane! I love you sweetheart!
