Birthday Bash of the Year

Alyssa's birthday party was yesterday. We rented a hall and about 50 people showed up. It feels as if Toys R Us has exploded in our house.

Alyssa had a good day. She was very crabby at first. She wouldn't let anyone hold her but her dad. (Not even her mama). After about an hour and a half, she finally became comfortable enough to roam the floor and eat her cake.

Some great pictures that I just have to share...

Here is Alyssa in a hat that I knew she would hate. But, I went ahead and spent about $5.00 on it anyways. Yes, a huge waste of money, but at least I got one picture...



Alyssa's Care Bear cake. No, I didn't make this. It was store bought. I am not Betty Crocker, that is for sure.

She had her own little cake to smoosh. She cried through the entire Happy Birthday song. She didn't know what to think of the cake. Nothing that big has ever been placed in front of her.

But then, she had fun. After all, it was sugar, and we were letting her touch it and put it into her mouth.

And I think this is her favorite birthday present she recieved. Thank you, Aunt Lisa, Uncle Jeff and cousin, Benjamin.
