We'd like to sing to you today!
One Year Older and Wiser too!
Happy Birthday...To Alayna!
She's the BIG #6 this year.
Let's just say that this young lady looks forward to each holiday, family tradition, family parties and HER BIRTHDAY all year long! She is a party girl through and through. Whether she is planning a party for someone else or her own birthday party, she's always thinking about what should be done at the parties. It actually makes planning for her really easy. She covers ALL the details and has so much fun thinking about all of them.
This year it was a little different, or is should have been. Her EXTRA BIG present (Which normally isn't given) was a week long trip to Disneyland with her cousins in February 2011. She had the BEST time of her life and enjoyed it because it was for her birthday present.
Today came and she knew she was receiving a few presents from her Aunt & Uncle, Grandparents, cousins. But she really wasn't expecting anything from us. So with just a few simple gifts, a Tinkerbell watch and Minnie Mouse socks to remind her of her trip she was thrilled. When the night was over she said, "I really got so many presents Mom, that was so nice of you because Disneyland really was supposed to be for my birthday!"
Thankfully at Christmas I put away a few gifts for her birthday because like always we give too many at Christmas. So without spending any extra money we looked like we got her some presents. Either way, for me birthdays aren't about the presents it's about making the child feel SPECIAL all day long. Let's just say, she had a GREAT birthday.We started the day out with her little cousins over for Joyschool, but we played birthday games for a little party.
Then it was off to Kindergarten. She was so excited because she could pass out her little pencils and erasers to all her kids in her class. Then, I was able to come in and volunteer today, so she LOVED having me there! It is always darling to see her in action at school. She is one serious little girl!
(Her Grandpa Randy let her pick any toy in the store...drumroll...a Pillow Pet! She finally got one, she's wanted one for SOOOOO long! Too bad I'm too cheap, they have yet to go on sale anywhere! She picked a darling bunny and she hasn't let it out of her sight yet! She LOVES it!!)
Then it was home from school, cake decorating (Thanks to my sisters and neighbors!), pizza party, playing outside, watching Tangled, playing more pin-the-nose on Flynn Rider game, so fun! Anyways, it was a VERY whirlwind of a day but the best part was in her prayer tonight she thanked Heavenly Father for having so many wonderful family members who love her so much and helped her feel special today! I couldn't agree more.
Thank you to everyone for the phone calls, visits, and sticking through a very long party! It meant the world to her.
She blew out all her candles, and I told her "I hope you made a good wish!" She said, "I did, but I can't remember what it was for?" Until next year...
