Well, Alissa turned 17 years old on Friday. If you know anything about Alissa, she loves birthdays. We have always wanted to give her a surprise party but she starts planning her party about 2 months ahead of time(so she makes it hard to surprise her)but we did it this year.

First she had her invitation done and she invited her friends but I went behind her back to her best friend and gave her invitation to the real PARTY. She said that she saw the invitations and she knew about it but she did not say anything to us about it. All her friends met at the house and we headed to a Karaoke Place that had private rooms to do your own party. Alissa was with Kristin and they went to get their nails done and hang out and then Kristin told her, she was taking her to a special restaurant and guess what we were there. She acted surprised and we all had a blast singing and eating and just had alot of fun.

Alissa,you are a special young lady that has amazing future. Just remember to keep God in your focus of your life. We love you and are proud of you.
