Alyssa's 9th birthday...

Happy 9th birthday Alyssa!

We started out Alyssa's special day with a soccer game...she scored 1 goal and had 2 assists. Way to go Alyssa! Her team won 6-2...and are undefeated thus far. Nice job Angels!

Alyssa invited her soccer team to help her celebrate her 9th birthday after the game...our neighborhood puts on a Halloween carnival every year, so we took them all to that...for free! Heidi, on the very left, won for best costume in their age bracket! - Too cute!

Alyssa vs. Brianna -

Madison wouldn't wear her cinderella dress because it was too itchy. At least she wore this dance recital dress.

Matt got his head spray painted blue, black, & red...he told the guy, 'get the bald spot.'

The three musketeers...

Waiting in line to get on that crazy spiny thingy...

Kate and Alyssa braved this ride...

After the carnival, we went walked back to the house for pizza and cupcakes.

The girls had a quick dance off before singing happy birthday...

Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday dear Alyssa, happy birthday to you!

Another webkinz...!

After all Alyssa's friends left, we had another small gift opening session with just family. My mom came over to give Alyssa her gifts...

Thanks Grannie...

Even Madison gave Alyssa a gift, but she didn't want to let go of it. This was too funny, if only I had captured the moment on video!


We hope you had a very happy 9th birthday Alyssa...double digits next year!
