...and we're off!!

First donation on the books! Thank you Pekala's for your generous donation! After a night of celebrating Lisa's birthday at the Moose's Tooth with great friends, I get to post more pictures from the girls birthday last week.

Princess Alyssa and her magic wand.

Blurry picture but look at that form.

One of my favorites...the girls kept looking for me or Lisa and giving us a big thumbs up. Not sure where they learned THAT?!

Maracas!!

The girls soaking up everybody singing Happy Birthday to them.

And watching the cake being cut up.

The cake was actually red and blue on the inside...perfect! Lisa really did think of everything!

Time to open presents.

It's now I feel like I need to point out how much Katy takes after her Daddy. She is ANIMATED!! She was cracking everybody up with her "over-the-top" reactions to every present. It was hilarious!

So pay attention to her expressions. Classic.

Our amazing neigbors surprised us by buying the girls tap shoes. Just recently the girls had been measure for them and tried them on... but we were going to buy them later. Well the Peterson's treated the girls to a very special birthday surprise. It also surprised Lisa....she was in tears she was so happy. Maybe you can get a glimpse from these pictures how excited the girls were about their new tap shoes. Thank you Petersons!!

Malena still enjoying the festivities.

Thank you to everybody who made this a very special birthday for the girls....and us. :)

Last one is Katy telling Andrea all about her special day.

Thanks again Pekala's for donating us and getting us rolling on our way to $4000!!!
