Since Allison is a July baby she does not get to celebrate her birthday during school, so I usually have her celebrate near the end of the year around Paige's birthday (in May). This year, Mrs. Crouch likes to have "summer birthday" celebrations on their Half Birthday! Allison has been looking forward to this since we were on winter break when she started making her birthday book. She got to make a birthday book all about her and it is super cute, and Allison loved making it. Mrs. Crouch thinks of everything, we are very blessed to have her as a Kindergarten teacher for Allison! Geoff, Paige and I all got to be at school for the celebration and it was lots of fun. When Allison was up on the stool if the front of the class, sharing her birthday book, Paige would chime in with "that's right, that's right".
Like yes she is really telling the truth! It was super cute....she was very proud of her big sister "Al-a"! Each birthday person also gets to choose a helper to stay in at recess and set up for the party. In class, I am the mom that gets to set up all of the parties, so I know it is a huge deal to get picked to be the "helper". Allison loves Ben (Fiona's nephew) and has been saying all year, that she would pick Ben to be her helper. She said mom "I just love Ben, and there are not many boys in our class and a boy has never been chosen, so I will pick Ben." I was not sure if Ben would think it was such and honor, but he is a super sweet boy, so of course he was stoked! Lily is recovering from surgery so she got to stay in with us. They had a great time setting up! We had a nice little celebration and can't believe our first born is already 5 1/2. Allison is a sweetheart and full of life. She loves to collect Precious Moment figurines, and as she was admiring them the other night before bed, she said "Mom these are really special, can I take them to college?" I smiled and said "Of course you can." and I would not be one bit surprised if our little miss, marches off to college with her Precious Moments in hand. We love you lots and lots, Happy Half Birthday sweet Gracer Macer!!
