Isn't she the cutest birthday girl ever?
Alison had a full day of celebration.
We stopped by the donut shop on the way to the Y and she got a birthday cake donut, complete with sprinkles on top. After my class, we picked up her friend Madelyn, dropped the boys by home with a sitter and headed for McDonalds.
We have a few Shear family birthday traditions...birthday shirts are one and Ben has been taking Alison to a movie since she was 3. This was the first year that we thought Ben would be stuck at work, thus the babysitter was hired so I could fill his shoes. But the amazing dad that he is, Ben took off work and surprised Alison at the movie. It was perhaps the perfect birthday gift.
We went to Despicable Me 2. Loved the movie!
After the movie we opened gifts.
The boys each got a dinosaur, but were just as excited about all the princess stuff.
We planned on a picnic dinner at the pool, but it started to rain shortly after we arrived.
Plan B = luncheables and pizza at home.
We finished the day with ice cream cake.
You can never, ever go wrong with ice cream cake.
It was perfect day of time together, celebrating the sweet gift of Alison.
Thank you to all our family who showered her with gifts.
Happy Birthday Princess P!
We love you!
