Alea is SEVEN!!!

Our good friend, Alea, turned SEVEN last week!  This year she got to have a friend birthday party at her house.  Heidi said that when she was listing the friends that she wanted to invite, Gracie was high on the list.  Heidi asked her if she thought Gracie could do the party activities that her first grade friends could do, "because remember, Gracie is three."  Alea looked at her mom and cried, "MOM!  We're talking about GRACIE, here!  She has to come!"  She and Kalei are so sweet to our girl!  Gracie was thrilled to join the house filled with TWELVE 1st graders!

And Alea was so sweet to let her be right next to her for most moments of the party--they even shared a chair at the party table.  :)

Alea had an Under the Sea party...the kids drew an underwater mural along the kitchen walls, they had a scavenger hunt that led to a dolphin piñata, and they feasted on goldfish and dolphin cake!

Happy Birthday, Sweet Alea!  We love you and can't wait to be part of your SEVENTH year!
