Calissa had a birthday, shout hooray!

Calissa turned 9 years old on Wednesday, May 25th. She had been asking for a desk for her birthday for several months. Every time we passed a "free" desk on the side of the road, she begged for it. (Believe it, or not, we passed quite a few over the course of those months!) I think we had convinced her that we would not get her a desk.This was her surprised, happy face when we woke her up on her birthday and she saw her new desk in her room!
She was sooooo excited!
Then, she had to hurry and get dressed so we could have her birthday cinnamon rolls and open her presents before dad and Parker had to leave. YUM!!
She had her birthday party this year at her Grandma's house. She has had a gymnastics party for the last three years, but since she broke her arm and couldn't go back to gymnastics until June 1st, Grandma put on a craft party for her.

Aunt Tina (and Lindsay) helped the girls make little milk cartons (with candy) and a holder to put them in. Here is Jocelyn, Kyrsten and Kaitlyn.

Grandma and I helped the girls make two cards.

After they did both projects, they decorated their bags with flowers and jewels so they could put their crafts in them. Grandma and Calissa also made each of the girls a necklace to take home too.

Then, it was time for ice cream sundaes! Those girls sure know how to put a lot of toppings on their ice cream!

Happy Birthday Calissa!

(Yes, she was a little hyper!)

Calissa had a great time at her party and her friends said it was the best birthday party ever! She got tons of crafty things to do at her new desk!

Thanks Grandma for a fabulous birthday party!
