Aleshia's Fourth Birthday
March 2005

For Aleshia's Fourth Birthday,
we did a combined party with
two babies who were turning one within a couple days of Aleshia turning four. Due to all the rain this year, we opted to do one big party inside at the Scripps Ranch Community Park. It rained during the entire party, so we were very thankful to have walls and heat. It was quite loud with nearly fifty guests, but the children enjoyed themselves soooooo much!

Her second turn yielded a magic
wand to go with her butterfly wings.

After the big birthday bash, the
birthday girl crashed hard. When she woke up, Cori was still here and gave her her birthday gift to open.
"Great Gift Auntie Cori!"

near our house and play, so we did.

These are the gifts from family. The babydolls
got Halloween costumes handmade by
Grandma Rose and Aleshia was sooooo excited! She also loved the tee ball set from Grams and
the exercise ball from Mommy & Daddy.
Well, she loved everything!
