It seems like just yesterday she looked like the picture on the cake. Hard to believe that 17 years have passed! We celebrated Alyssa's birthday with a few of her friends, Grandma and Ted, Amanda, Lane and Rylan, Heather, Shawn, Connor and Lexi. Alyssa had softball practice so she was late to her OWN birthday party! But she is so carefree and easy going that it didn't even phase her. Just look at that smile! How can you NOT love that smile? Alyssa is so NOT big on being the center of attention. It almost seems to embarrass her but that is a parent's goal in life anyway. She just makes it easier for us.
Alyssa never really lets us know what she wants for her birthday so it is a challenge to shop for her. This year she received Alpine speakers for her car since about 1 week after receiving her car she blew out a speaker in the back. :) However, she is always happy with whatever she gets. I might try and get her a box of rocks next year just to see the reaction on her face. She would probably just laugh! That's just the kind of person she is and we truly love her for that. Unfortunately though, because she is so easy going, she probably gets less attention than her sister sometimes but ONLY because she is less demanding than her sister. Alyssa is so low maintenance and Kylie is so, well, so Kylie! 'Nuf said.
