O happy day!

Today was picture day at Alayna's school so Grandma & Pop Pop gave her one of her birthday presents a little early so she had a new dress to wear...















Then our 2nd favorite UPS man, Joe (daddy being our 1st, of course but he doesn't deliver in our neighborhood that is where Joe comes in) delivered a BIG box with Alayna's name on it. We quickly opened the box and found LOTS of other boxes inside...

Aidan was quick to spy a box with his name on it and a loving note from his "big" Sarah. (Big Sarah is Aidan's pet name for my best friend from Little Rock, Sarah Russell. He named her that when he was 15 months old because our neighbors have a daughter also named Sarah Jane so to differentiate the two it was Big Sarah and Baby Sarah and it has always stuck) . His present was a Crayola story writer and BOY was he super excited. He didn't even want to do his homework because he wanted to start writing and recording stories. (As you can see Sarah spoils my children rotten...who gets gifts on their sister's birthday?)







Then it was on to the other boxes...

The next one was wrapped all pretty with a card for Alayna Aidan took it upon himself to start unwrapping but, Alayna quickly let him know that she was the birthday girl and she could rip packages open too!











We opened the box and it made our day a little happier, here is what we saw...











A onesie decorated with a cupcake with Alayna's name on it, a party hat, a cupcake bag AND a multicolored TUTU! Oh Joy!!! Alayna thought it was delicious!!!



But wait there is more...when we got to the bottom of the box we saw 2 more packages and a note to open them together! Yippee another present for Alayna & LC! The girls will open them together on Friday. THANKS BIG SARAH, we love you!!!
