Alyssa's Birthday

The birthday girl...
She was gifted such treasures as you see beholding in her hand... (apparently 'beholding' IS a real word.)

And in that big purple box behind her was such rare items as you see in the pic below...
You guessed it.
Each item represents a McClure book and Alyssa had to guess which book from whence it came.

After hours of serious conversation about... fake eyelashes (among other fake things) we decided to attempt a freeze frame.


And then it starts to get crazy...

Even James gets in on the fun...
"I'm flattered" pose...
"I'm so happy I'm crying"...
Alyssa had a fabulous (I'm being sarcastic) idea to have us all pose as gargoyles.
I, of course, emphatically refused until at such time as Alyssa played the 'but it's my birthday" card.
Hence, a reenactment of the Twilight baseball scene...

And lastly, an attempt to recreate Alyssa's 'no nonsense, I am your cult leader' stare....

I will NEVER forget this night. Ever. I LOVED it. How could I NOT play the "it's my birthday" card to get you guys to do something you didn't want to do??! Don't you know me well enough yet? I never neglect an opportunity such as that...

to quote our favorite: "Oh my HECK" that looks like so much fun! what a great birthday experience! Glad Alyssa insisted on the vampire baseball game post because we all really want to see you and everyone else outside their comfort zones :)

You, my friend, are a wonderful friend!! And James is the funniest, by far...
