But yesterday was her birthday and we celebrated with her favorite food for dinner; chocolate chip pancakes, fresh berries and scrambled eggs. Ally did not even want dessert, just the candle in the pancakes. Beth came over to celebrate and we had a fun time.
Ally humored me with a photo during her snack break from school.
Her current favorite lunch: homemade chicken and rice soup, Ritz crackers, apple, homemade chocolate chip oatmeal cookies and lemonade.
Ally was dying to open presents but had agreed to wait until after practice to open them when Aunt Beth was here too. But she begged to open at least a card before practice. She chose the one from Grandma and Poppy.
Mama got new glasses!
Home from practice and ready for gifts!
She was delighted with cash in cards and so thankful for extended family who send cards with or without cash. Ally read every card and smiled with humor and delight.
She is reading her note from Poppy. She hadn’t realized earlier that there were 2 notes in the card, one on the white paper from Grandma Debbie and the orange paper from Poppy.
Aunt Beth gave her a really pretty ring and an eye shadow palette.
Ally kept telling us she was scared to open the big gift. But when she did was was happy.
It was a mini fridge. She plans to keep makeup and beauty products in it on the 3rd floor.
We wrapped gifts and stocked the fridge with some of her requested beauty items.
Ally has been obsessed with the electric shampoo scalp massager. It vibrates.
Some blue light glasses to protect her eyes with so much screen time. (And a cool filter background on the photos for fun)
Ally was a little scared of the sparkler candles!
I really am so very proud of her and even more happy for her the young adult she’s become and how hard she works. So much love.
