Sassy Sixteen

Alyssa's birthday isn't until Sunday but we partied with her friends tonight. She declared it her "sassy sixteen" since "sweet sixteen" is too cliche. We started the night at Macaroni Grill, all dressed up.

This is what's left of Alyssa's chicken parmesan after she'd eaten a good portion of it.

This is Elliot, singing Happy Birthday in Italian to Alyssa. Elliot was lots of fun as a waiter and I think he could successfully moonlight at Forever 21. (If you don't know the interpretation of that statement, just ask any teenage girl.)

Here's everyone in Alyssa's room before they changed into sweats to eat ice cream cake and watch 27 dresses.

One of Alyssa's friends gave her a Zac Efron notebook as a gag gift! Her real presents included jewelry, 2 wallets, money, itunes, and leg warmers.

Alyssa doesn't like regular birthday cake so we got a chocolate ice cream cake with peanut butter cups mixed in from Marble Slab. Yumm!
