The Birthday Girl

We started the birthday celebration a little early because Matt had to work on Wednesday and Allison had soccer practice.  Allison chose Lucille's for her birthday dinner and the girls toasted with
some strawberry lemonade before devouring biscuits, mac n cheese and southern friend chicken.
We topped it all off with this delicious Red Velvet Cake!
 We opened presents once we got home and Allison was eager to get started.
 She loved her new sweatshirt, long-sleeved rash guard, Adidas slides, iTouch case and ear buds.  She can't wait to use her Mission Bay Aquatic Center gift card for a little stand-up paddle boarding and kayaking.
She also loved her new backpack for middle school and was thrilled to find $100 stuffed inside. Thank you to Grandma and Papa!
On the morning of her birthday, she woke up to balloons and streamers all over her room and fresh chocolate chip pancakes.
She celebrated with popsicles at school, had a fun lunch at Rubio's with Faith and celebrated with donut hole stick pops at soccer practice.  A pretty good day if you ask me!
