It is so hard to believe but our little Alli is 8 years old! She is growing up so fast and we are loving watching this little young lady grow! She is kind, thoughtful and always thinks of others! Alli loves to read & play outside on her bike. We started the celebration over Thanksgiving with a trip to Claire's. Yes, our little girl got her ears pierced. She was so brave & they really look adorable! She could hardly wait to come home and show off the new ears and then she opened some presents from the Abernethy crew. 
On the night before her birthday, we went out to dinner with Aunt Debbie, Uncle Jay & YaYa to On the Border. Yummy Guacamole Live & Brownie Blast were great but nothing compared to her face when she opened our present! A little background, a few years ago we went to New York City and Alli got her first American Girl Doll. She loved Kit the funny thing is that Alli's hair grew & Kit's didn't! So for the past year and a half Alli has been saving her money to buy a new doll with long hair. She still has a way to go so Mom & Dad got her one for her birthday. She loved it! It was certainly a AG theme. YaYa & Granddaddy gave her an outfit for "Taylor" the new doll. Caden gave her a pink beanbag for her & Aunt Debbie & Uncle Jay gave her 'Sugar' the AG dog! The celebrations were not over...the big day was soon approaching.

Since her birthday was on a Wednesday we decided to squeeze a party in between school & church. But before the party she had a special breakfast fixed by her brother! , Cookies with all of her friends from school at lunch & then it was time to party... So thanks to the wonderful people at Michael's we hosted an American Girl Craft Party! Alli celebrated with her friends, made picture frames, friendship bracelets & each guest took home an ornament for their tree & some bath soaps! Aunt Ische even stopped by to see our Birthday girl & give her some AG books!
After the party we went to church. Alli was so excited for Mr. Neal to sing Happy Birthday to her. However, after he did she told him it was a little pitchy...maybe she can be a judge on American Idol! She loved it Mr. Neal! Thank you to everyone for making her day so special!
