Eight Years of Sweetness

Somewhere along the lines, this little princess of ours turned into a young lady who is fun to hang with, full of smiles and giggles, and lots of silliness. She has a compassionate heart and a caring spirit, and she loves to help with anything she can. Did I mention her responsibility and maturity? She is growing too fast, even getting contacts on our last trip home. So proud of her!!

Miss Alayna celebrated her 8th birthday in two countries with four groups of friends and family over the past few weeks. Talk about a lot of cake and ice cream for this little international girl! Her big celebration was having 5 of her closest friends stay the night. It was all kinds of girly-slumber party. They did homemade pizzas, ice cream sundaes, nerf wars (poor Cade was the target), participated in crafty fun, nails and make-up, and wrapped it up with movies and sleeping bags. A pretty simple way to enjoy your girlfriends.

A huge thank you to our many Alayna-supporters, around the world who sent a note, indulged in pizza and ice cream, or showered her with presents. She is a special little girl who has really felt the love!
