the birthday girl

Alli had a birthday last week.  My baby is five.  FIVE!
We stretched out her birthday celebration over a few days.  On Monday she took cupcakes to school.  Her friend Elijah came with us to pass out cupcakes.  What a surprise!  On Tuesday we took the family to the Choo Choo Diner.  Lunch came to our booth on the model train.  Alli got a special birthday cupcake complete with a train whistle on top... that came on the train too.  Alli's party was on Wednesday.  Grandma Utah dressed up like a clown and painted all the kids' faces.  Ruby was a puppy... and then a lion.  Alli was a clown like Grandma.  There were also a few butterflies, another clown, and spiderman.  Grandma made a darling carousel cake.  She also made balloon animals.  (Andy's mom is AMAZING!)  All in all, a very fun birthday for our sweet little Alli!




I can't believe Alli is five!  She has grown up so quickly.  I love her spunk and intelligence and humor.

Love you, Grandma Utah
See you soon for the baby blessing

What a cool Grandma! Your girls look darling as little clowns. The pictures of June are precious. Alanna is only 6 months, and I'm already missing her newborn days! Enjoy them!
