Christmas Eve is a special day for many people, but is extra-special for our family, as that is when our second baby came into the world. Alissa Noel didn't want to miss Christmas in 1980...and it's absolutely her favorite time of year, each and EVERY year!! We celebrated her birthday this year on Dec. 22 with a special dinner of fettucine alfredo and chicken cutlets which is a family favorite.
Her sister Jennifer arrived from Florida late the night before, so we enjoyed seeing all of our children together again at one table! Niece Cailyn made her aunt a special bookmark, wrapped it with very special stickers, and helped her aunt unwrap it too!
Alissa received a funny card and button from Jennifer...
We enjoyed alot of laughs that evening, and Jennifer enjoyed seeing her new nephew Landon for the first time! He's such an easy-going baby, very smiley, and says "hi" to everyone he sees!
This morning, we ALL met at 8:15 a.m. at Joe's Farm Grill for a Birthday Breakfast for Alissa! The food is delicious, and it was fun to celebrate again on the actual "day"!
After breakfast, coincidentally we were all headed to the Riparian Preserve in Gilbert to enjoy a brisk walk in the 40 degree "winter" climate!!
Cailyn requested Aunt Jennifer push the stroller....the kids were all bundled up warm in blankets too!
It was a beautiful morning...and a beautiful day for Alissa! Thanks for letting us ALL share in your special day! Happy Birthday, dear Alissa!!
Thanks, Mom! It was a very wonderful and special Birthday!
