Whole lot a SOUL!

Hosting a birthday party for 15 girls in a weeks notice is not an easy task......
but for Alyssa......I'd do ANYTHING! Love. This. Girl. She wanted to go see SOUL SURFER. Amazing movie, so inspirational. Most of the girls commented how they realized they could do anything if they put their mind and heart in it. I was quite impressed. Then we went back to our house for a spaghetti dinner and games and.....CAKE! Mmmm!
I can't believe this little chick is NINE!! 9 ! WOW! And as I can see by the evidence below, she is a wonderful friend and blessed to have been so welcomed by all these girls. (so glad we didn't switch schools)

L to R- Back Row: Alyssa, Olivia, Chloe, Libby, Jordan, Amanda, Erika, Hannah, Emma, Portia
L to R- Front Row: Macie, Grace, Abby, Mavani, Claire

The Three Stooges................

...........or are these the Three Stooges?

Some more of my little nut

Alyssa has always been "Peanut". She got that name when I was pregnant with her.
It is clear that she does come from a family of nuts.

Did I forget to mention......

Alyssa just turned 9 a few days ago! Happy Birthday to my sweet girl! I am so glad you are in my life!
Isn't this so sweet, this picture? BFF'S for life. Lyssie lou and Hailey girl! Love these girls together!
They got to spend some "surprise" time together a few months back!
