Happy Birthday Alina!

This little girl had a birthday on August 10th. She's five now and starting kindergarten on September 1st. Oh how time flies! Here are the top 10 reasons why we love Alina.

1. She's always smiling.
2. She squeals with delight at the littlest things.
3. She's always telling us how much she loves us.
4. She makes up her own words like "yummy yumscious and sunjock."
5. She can eat massive amounts of candy and not get sick.
6. She's very imaginative and that imagination is going to get her places.
7. She teases like no other.
8. She loves to play with her family and never wants to stop.
9. She sings made up church songs to her stuffed animals.
10. She's the one we can count on to be happy and excited about things.

She chose mac and cheese and hot dogs much to our dismay for her birthday dinner.




We got her a Jasmine barbie
. I love this picture, it captures her excitement.



She had a princess themed birthday party on the 12th and invited 19 people.


Here's the group of 19. If you notice there are some older girls there. Three of the 19 are some of my Young Women that she loves. She insisted on inviting them and they came and are so sweet for doing so. Thanks Shay, Kortney, and Brooklyn.


I had great plans with this princess cake, it was going to be one of my masterpieces. But at the last minute Alina decided she wanted to make it with her sister and brother. They did a really good job. On the side of it I wrote "Alina Mae" since that's what we call her. None of my kids realized Mae is spelled the way it is, they think I spelled it wrong and refuse to believe me. Go figure. :)


And at the end of the party Olivia was so pooped out from all the attention that she just laid on the kitchen floor. It was a great party. Happy Birthday Alina Mae!
