Allegra's Birthday

My Baby is four years old! I can't believe it! Allegra is an awesome girl! Here's just a few things I love about her:
1)She is super silly! She is really funny.
2) She loves to make new friends.
3) She's very feminine.
4) She is very sweet but can have a fiery temper! (Wonder where she gets that from?)Maybe she's bipolar?? Hummm... I think all girls this age are.
5) She runs like a granny. Seriously, she is uncoordinated. It is so cute!
6) She plays great by herself.
7) She is very caring.
8) She loves to put her stuffed animals and dolls to bed. She lays them on pillows and covers them with blankets. It is adorable.
9) She loves to dress up and put on make up. I am in trouble!
10) She got "married" to her friend Luke and they kissed on the mouth five times!!! Good thing that boy moved to Reno!
11) She loves to lay in bed and "read" books to herself. So cute!
12) She thinks her name is Allegra Maggiora Mabrina. It's actually Allegra Sabrina Maggiora. We call her Mabrina now.

Anyways, the list could go on and on! Joel was working out on the rig on her actual birthday, so we went to the farm at Thanksgiving Point to celebrate her big day. We had a visitor from Italy (Rossella) visiting for two weeks so she came along. Joel met Rossella in Italy on his mission and we loved having her stay with us.



The Wagon Ride


Lunch



Crazy Alpaca! Joel wants to raise these and sell their wool.




Allegra loved feeding the animals.







She wanted a green cake.


Gianluca playing at the water structure at Thanksgiving Point. That thing was awesome!

Dress like a cow and get a free meal day at Chick-fila. Rosella said "Only in America" would people do something like this! :)

THE PRINCESS PARTY

Allegra loves Disney Princess ever since we went to Disney World this year. She has about 5 dress ups that we got for an awesome deal at Kid to Kid and she is constantly putting them on. We waited for Joel to come home before we had the party. Allegra had about 7 girls come and it was so fun! First up was decorating their crowns, then princess makeovers, a dance party, musical chairs, and then cake and opening presents. Lots of Barbies for presents. Side Note, she calls Barbies, Darbies. So funny. It was so much fun!


Some of the Princesses

Good Times, Good Times!

I can't believe how much she has already changed since you guys left. Her hair is so much longer, blonder, and less curly. She looks so much older. What a QT!
