Happy Birthday Alyssum!

Alyssum had a fun birthday with family and friends!  She is a big eight year old now!  Cousin Katelyn and friend Amanda came over for a slumber party.  Alyssum has a new love...penguins!  So I made a fun penguin cake for her birthday...

  Since it was so close to Easter we colored eggs as birthday party fun!  It was fun and we have some beautiful colored eggs...but oh what a lot of eggs and dye.  Alyssum got some wonderful gifts from family and friends, including a few stuffed penguins, penguin stickers, Legos, art supplies, books, collector coins, and plenty of candy from her siblings!

She also got penguin fabric to make pajama shorts with Grandma.  And Grandma gave her a matching penguin lap quilt.  Alyssum was thrilled with her penguin stuff!  What a fun birthday for a sweet special little girl!!
