We had lots of visitors for Alyssa's big day! Duane, Nicki and Allie came down Friday morning, Mom, Dad and Grandma Homick drove down and arrived Friday night, it was great to have the whole family together again! We had Alyssa's party on Saturday, February 28th. There were about 25 people there to help us celebrate! She was spoiled rotten with toys, clothes, books and more! She did NOT like the cake on her hands but she did enjoy eating it!
