Alayna's B-day Weekend

We celebrated Alayna a lot this week.  First, with the trip to Disneyland.  Then, she picked all the meals we're eating through tomorrow.  Then, mini cupcakes in her classroom.  Then, a Spaghetti dinner with the Coxes, and more cake, plus ice cream.  Then, my parents came for a visit and we had brownies before they took her out to dinner.  After my parents left, we watched a movie of Alayna's choice and had popcorn and hot cocoa.  Finally, today after church, we went for a bike ride to the park and afterward, she helped me bake cookie bars for a cookie exchange party I'm going to tonight.  It's been fun celebrating her.  Here are some photos from her birthday weekend and a short "interview" with the birthday girl herself.
