HAPPY BIRTHDAY ALYSSA!

Alyssa woke up bright and early the morning of her 5th Birthday to a bicycle and other presents. Her boys (which is what she calls Mason and Taylor) gave her a dollar bill, which she was absolutely thrilled about! She told me the night before, "Mom I will stay in my room until you come and get me to see all of my presents!" She was so excited to turn 5!



She was a bit tired that morning, but she sure loved her bike!


This was later on in the day when she was up and ready for her big day.


I took her to the toy store and let her pick out any toy she wanted. She picked out a little white dog that came with a bag to carry it in as well as some art supplies. I told Lance while we were shopping for her presents the week before that she would love that little dog with the bag and he just laughed! I know what toys Alyssa likes all too well! I usually throw a big party with all of her friends, but I was feeling still a little bit run down from getting my tonsils out so next year we will have to have a big bash!

This is just a cute picture of Alyssa on Daddy's motorcycle! She loves to work with Dad in the garage.

I took Alyssa to Dr. Baker's office for her 5 year check-up and Kindergarten shots. She weighed 37 pounds (that is in the 37th percentile) and she was 43.5 inches tall (that is the 72nd percentile). I have never had any of my kids above the 13th percentile with weight or height so I am so proud that she is growing!! She had to get four shots and she didn't even cry, but I could tell they were uncomfortable for her. What a tough little girl. We went out for ice cream cones afterwards. Alyssa you are such a special girl with such a fun personality that can always make your family laugh. We love you!!
