Allie's 11th Birthday

Our sweet Allie girl turned 11 on the 28th.  She has been talking about her birthday and how excited she was for it for a while now.  

Grandma Margie bought doughnuts for Brennen and Allie's birthday, and we sang to both of them at her house on the Sunday before Allie's birthday and the Sunday after Brennen's.

I asked Allie what she wanted for her birthday dinner, and she choose Lasagna.  She also chose to do ice cream Sundays for her birthday dessert.  We invited both sets of Grandparents to join us for ice cream and presents.

Allie had a hard time deciding what she wanted for her birthday.  She had already gotten an Alice in Wonderland Loung Fly backpack from Disneyland as part of her birthday, but she also picked out some small princess dolls and we got her a journaling set as well. 

My mom got her some slippers and a lounge set and Papa G gave her an envelope with birthday money and a stick of gum (just like his mom used to do for us).

Allie asked Grandma Margie to put her birthday money towards her Disneyland money so she could have lots of options next time we go to Disneyland.

Allie even got a special video call from Elder Steenblik in Mexico.  He had to make it quick, but it was nice that he was able to wish her a happy day.  Allie said it was a good birthday, and she was very thankful for her special day.
