Alyssa's turns 13

Alyssa turned into a teenager this week. As a typical girl all she really wanted clothes. Aeropostale is her favorite brand and she got 3 new shirts! She also received another shirt, a pair of pj pants, perfume and hand sanitizer that said: I love boys. After dinner we surprised her with a trip to Wal-Mart to pick out a new bike. She was thrilled!
For dinner Allysa chose pasta carbonara with cheesecake for dessert. Yum!

Today was Alyssa's birthday party. She had 4 friends over for pizza and games. The first game they played is the duct tape game. An item is wrapped in lots and lots of layers of duct tape. One girl is trying to unwrap the item while another girls is rolling 2 die. Once they roll double they pass the duct taped item around. This continues until the item is completely unwrapped. Whoever unwraps it gets to keep it. They girls loved this game.

They also played a cotton ball game, tag, balloon popping relays, draw a picture on a paper plate that is on your head and a few more.

Alyssa had to have a pinata this year. As we don't have any large trees Aaron got creative and hung it from our bike stand. I was worried the girls would beat the stand up, but it held up.

Chocolate cupcakes and vanilla ice cream for dessert! Overall it was a great party. Alyssa has awesome taste in friends. They all get along and are good girls.
