Happy Birthday Karis!

If you ever ask my kids "Whose birthday is it today?' on Christmas day, you won't get the response that you would expect them to give you.

First of all, they know that Jesus wasn't actually born on Christmas day.

Secondly, they know that Karis was actually born on Christmas day!

So, thier answer will be "It's Karis' birthday!"  And they're right!  : )

Karis, our sweet Christmas baby!

So, on Monday Dec. 28th, Ali and Emma got to spend the night at the Alligood's house and they enjoyed the coolest birthday party ever!

They enjoyed tacos for dinner.  They went to Kohl's where they all got matching shirts, that came with stuffed puppies.  The shirts say "Best Friends Forever."  I mean really, does it get any better than that?

Aren't they cute?

They got to frost and decorate their own cupcakes (Mrs. Alligood made custom colored frosting for each kid!)  They got to watch the American Girl Samantha movie.  They enjoyed smoothies during their movie, and popcorn, and chocolate after that!  Mrs. Alligood even slept downstairs with them.  Is she the best, or what?  While they were being tucked in, Ali even told her "Mrs. Alligood, you're like my second mom!"  It's a miracle that Mrs. Alligood didn't melt into a puddle right then & there!  : )  The next morning, Mr. Alligood made pancakes and a little while later they were chauffered home.

"And the Mom of the Year award goes to . . . Amber Alligood!!!"  Thanks for giving my girls such a magical night!
