I might have to steal that for next year.<BR/><BR/>Oh, and I would've had a secret stash of frosting to smother my piece of cake with, lol. I can't do dry cake!

How is it that a "best talking over the phone long distance relationship friend" such as myself, can swell with such pride over Alyssa, whom I hardly know? You know why? HMMMMMMmmm? It's because of the many, many conversations we've had with interruptions of you telling me how great Alyssa is. When I look at her in these pictures, I think of all of the times she was at home whilst we were chatting away, and she helped you out in one way or another, or how studious she was, or how she was banging away (quite nicely I might add) at the piano. She really is a great kid. Yes, great kids exist, in the Manwaring family. <BR/><BR/>Kudos to you Alyssa. Thanks for being such a good little girl to your mommmy. You bring her much joy and satisfaction.
