Tonight we celebrated Alissa's 16th Birthday with our whole family. Alissa wanted to have her party at her very favorite restraunt, El Ranchito. We reserved the room in the back and they had it all set up so nice for us when we got there. It was great to see everyone. It has been awhile since we have been able to all get together. Grandpa and Grandma just got back from their 3 week vaction in Kroatia. The cousins are all growing so much. Jack was very excited because he loves Mexican food and ordered his favorite, a cheese enchilada. Olivia, Faith and Holly were so happy to be together. Chase and Jack were having a great time too. Madison is getting so big! She is definitely a really cute baby. Tiffany was not there tonight because she had to work at her new job. We missed having her.

Alissa has been looking forward to this day for a long time now. She really enjoyed herself. She ordered the Coice of two with two cheese enchiladas. It came time for cake and she just had the best smile on her face while everyone was singing to her. The pwople from El Ranchito came in to sing as well. She has known them since she was a very small little girl about 4 years old. It meant alot to them that she wanted to have her birthday dinner there. She has always said that when she was old enough to get a job she wanted to work at El Ranchito. We will have to wait and see what happens.

It came time for Alissa to open her presents. She was very excited. Her Grandma, Grandpa and Aunts and Uncles all went in and got her a beautiful necklace from Tiffany and Company. She was so happy! Then she also got a really cute Coach key chain and a Hungry Girl Cook Book. So needless to say she was very spoiled. Now me I really like the look of the soft blue colored Tiffany and Company box. I am certain that I could find a space for at least one of those in my dresser! Well with all of the birthday festivites behind us it is onto the next big thing. Hmmm for me that next big thing is Scrapbook Expo. It is coming up later this week and I just can't wait!!!!!
