i love white castles little burgers. anyway.. alyssa's sweet 16 was awsome! there were 20 or more people there to start with but a few more started coming. Lisa didn't come until later on which I thank the lord for. If you knew how much of a bitch she is than you would understand why I said that. But For the first few hours, we talked and listened to music while more people came. After more people were there, we gathered in the other family room and shared how we met alyssa, there were alot of poeple that said she was alittle 'different' when they first meet her but I didn't think so lol. Afterwards we watched a video of alyssa's dance team performing in 5th grade. Afterward we shared our funny/embarrassing momments we had with alyssa. I shared the one of when we were lying in bed one night she stayed and it was 4am. of course we were so tired that the most random/weirdest things would come out of our mouth. So I told her that a kangaroo in australia was called a boomer. Then she went in an australian voice, 'you see that koala over there? Now your gonna grab a stick, walk over to it quietly and poke it! POKE THE BOOMER TOO!'. Then we started laughing so loud until 5am! it was great! -back to the party lol- after we shared our momments, alyssa's parent brought in the cake and alyssa (being the dork she is) she took a minute to make sure there were 16 candles on the cake and finally blew them out and we had cake while alyssa opened her gifts. When she opened mine, she like, 'wow brandie you made me one of those purses!' its was so halarious how much excitment she had in her voice! well then lisa asked, who made that and alyssa's like..brandie! Lisa then crossed her arms. I thought 'your just jealous'. Well after she was done opening her presents, I went home b/c I was just so worn out and I had a long week, I just wanted to sleep. That was my night!
