The gifts:
We haven't ever really ever made a big deal of birthdays at our house, but this year I decided that Allie could have a party...and a party she got. On the eve of the big day she got to have a daddy-daughter date complete with sleepover with Aliyah. Then, thanks to Smithfields annual Health Days Celebration, the festivities started with a real parade. Boy did she like seeing all the 'princesses' (royalty). Most the party ideas were hijacked from our neighbor (sorry Hayley), but Allie wanted a PJ party just like Adyson. We kept the party simple:
- pass the Hot Teddy Bear to Strawberry Shortcake soundtrack
- Pillow Case hopping races
- Night Sky art project
- Duck-Duck-Goose lead by daddy
- Real Strawberry Shortcake for the cake
- Open gifts - talk about spoiled!
- Watch new Strawberry Shortcake Princes DVD
Nate & Allie, Uncle Troy & Aliyah, Uncle Brent & Laura
Good think the men took them since the mommies never would have sprung for the price of the rides...however we might have got pictures of the grins.

We had a great time coming. The top three pictures didn't load right. I want to see them!
Sarah, I love your hair these days! I think it looks so cute straight.
Looks like a fun shindig! Happy birthday, Allie!!
