In the morning before school.
November 16 is teacher Silvia's birthday too, so every year I bring in a treat to share with the before school students and light a candle and we sing to Silvia and Ally. Silvia told another parent this morning it was a tradition. I love that.
After school it was time to open Ally's gifts. She was so excited.
After school it was time to open Ally's gifts. She was so excited.
Especially by the 8 cards she received!
1) Gruncle & Aunt Suzie
2) Aunt Cindy and Uncle Denny
3) Grandpa Frank
4) Aunt Beth
5) cousin Katy & family
6) Aunt Martha
7) Aunt Louise
8) Grandma Debbie and Poppy
Most of the cards had some cash gifts or gift cards. Ally is so lucky to have such a generous extended family. Thank you all.
From her mama and mommy she got some lush products she was really wanting,
A popcorn popper! So she can stop making microwave popcorn almost every day.
A Mermaid Pillow
After gifts we had to head out to pick up two of Ally's gymnastics friends from her old gym, Hannah and Caroline. We had dinner at a local restaurant and then made our way to a special event.
It sure was a party dessert!
Aly Raisman was having a book signing and presentation. Our Ally was so excited to meet her gymnastics favorite Aly.
The girls with their books.
Many of Ally's current team mates were there. Ally is the 3rd from the left in the middle row standing next to Aly Raisman.

Sitting enraptured listening.
After the presentation was the book signing. I spoke up that it was Ally's birthday and Aly wrote Happy Birthday to Ally in her book.
Seriously amazing day and I think a birthday for the record books.
And it was the beginning of a 4 day birthday extravaganza. I baked 71 cupcakes last night for Ally to bring to school today, practice tomorrow and some tbd. I couldn't be happier. And Ally is happy with her very special day.
