Allie's 8th Birthday

Our sweet Allie is now 8. Time does fly! Her vanity table used to have little fairies and dollies, and dress-up things sitting on it. Now there are bottles of nail polish, lip smackers and a chapter book. It seemed just a little while ago that she was into princesses and fairies!
She has grown into such a cute, funny, creative, intelligent, and fun girl. She likes to read to Collin and Maddie, teaches Collin and gets him to do just about anything (including painting his toenails pink for her party - as he would not agree to wearing pink), and is a big helper at home. She conducts our FHE program, and always comes up with wonderful activities to do.She is such a planner! She and I came up with an original party plan -- a PINK Party. PIzza N Karaoke, that is. By default, everything from the invitations to the drinks (raspberry lemonade) and napkins were pink. We also asked the girls to wear pink. The girls had fun with karaoke and made their own pizzas. Allie requested Brick Oven for dinner tonight -- the rest of us had pizza, but all she wanted was cream of broccoli soup and garlic bread. We love you, Allie!

Looks like everyone had fun! Wish I could have been there especially for the cake and Brick Oven soup!

We just got to see the birthday photos today. Allie could really plan for a great and fun party! I love the pink and pizza theme. Can't believe we now have an eight-year old granddaughter... that means we're getting old too!
