Alyssa's Barbie Sleepover Birthday Party!

2nd year attempting the "Barbie cake"...SO happy it didn't crumble this year!! :)

Getting ready for the party to begin!

Each girl brought their favorite barbie and got to play in 'Barbie land'. :)

Barbie play time! :)

Miss Alex was SUCH a big help at the party...helping cook dinner, cleaning up, taking pictures, doing hair, and helping get breakfast ready for the morning! :)

Dinner's ready.

Alyssa picked the menu...mac n cheese, strawberries, and cheez-its. :)

The girls got to have their hair done and nails painted. Thank you Kristy & Alex!!!

Ava and Eliana were so cute...as soon as they realized they were both 4yrs old, they were inseparable!

Barbie game - 'Stick the glasses on Barbie'

All the cutie patootie's. :)

Time to sleep...Alyssa's room was FULL!

Good morning!

Princess pancakes, unicorn pancakes, and PINK pancakes (thanks to Alex for that fun idea)!

Alyssa and all the girls had a great time...SUCCESS! ;)

Happy 5th birthday Alyssa!

My little girl is getting so big, I can't believe she's FIVE!!! She is such a sweetheart, I love her so much!

Here's some pics of the family (and 'kind of' like family!) birthday party we had a few days before her actual birthday.

Alyssa and as she says, her 'handsome boy'. ;)

Papa & Grandma K

Grandpa & Grandma H

Birthday morning!

Breakfast with the whole family at Liberty Market (what a special treat it was to have Nate be able to take the whole day off of work!). :)

Emi could've stood in that window all day long, it was just her size! LOL

Her 2 new barbies, Sea World trainer Barbie and Wedding Barbie.

Birthday phone calls. :)

Grandma brought cousin Ava by the house for a special birthday visit. :)

Miss Alex was so kind to draw this sweet birthday message on our front porch the night before Alyssa's birthday for her to see on her birthday!!! We were all shocked to see it when we opened the door, what a fun surprise! :)
