Colsa Xmas Party

Saturday we took Alyssa to Nanny's work to their Kids Christmas event. They had all kinds of neat stuff there for the kids to do and Santa Clause was there :) Alyssa was very shy and grumpy at first but quickly came out of her shell and had a great time! Alyssa and I made a gingerbread man necklace, Ornaments for the Christmas tree and we went and talked to Santa. Alyssa refused to sit in his lap or to take a picture with him, but did go to talk to him with Mommy's help to tell him what she wanted for Christmas. Alyssa wants a "girl doggy" for Christmas??? We told her Syndey is her girl doggy but she insists that Syndey is a boy :) Daddy says we will not be getting another doggy. After all the fun, we ate lunch (pizza) - but Alyssa's lunch consisted of peanuts that Nanny had and lots of cookies. We had a great time - thanks Nanny!! Alyssa peeking around the corner - I love this pic :)

Alyssa turned 3 yesterday!!! Happy Birthday Alyssa :) She has had a few days of birthday celebrating and has had a wonderful time. Saturday we had her birthday party at Jump Zone with some friends from her class, our neighbors and family. After the kids jumped, we had pizza and cake (Dora of course) and then she opened gifts. Thank you everyone for coming and the wonderful gifts Alyssa got. She is very blessed!!
Sunday we played with new toys and Mommy and Alyssa made cupcakes together for her school birthday party. Later that night we decorated the Christmas tree and Alyssa loved putting on the ornaments.
Monday Alyssa had a birthday party at school and then came home to open more presents from Mommy and Daddy :) I had to let her open gifts on her actual birthday :) After she finished opening gifts, her and Daddy went to the movies and saw Bolt. She had a wonderful day and that made me so happy.
I cannot believe Alyssa is 3 already - my baby girl is growing up.........but it was so fun this year with her birthday because she understood everything going on and was genuinely excited and happy! It was a small peek at what Christmas and Santa Clause presents will be like and I cannot wait!!
I have lots of pics from this weekend - I just need to offload them and then I will add them here. Just wanted to give everyone an update.
Love all of you!
