happy birthday, alissa!

Alissa turned 15!  We took Alissa to a restaurant that is owned by a friend of ours- Mark.  When we got there, our table was ready.  They don't have a gluten free menu, but Mark made a special gluten free dish for both Alissa and I- chicken alfredo with brocolli and gf pasta.  The atmosphere was cozy and inviting, mark's daughter (who happened to be "Alissa" too!) was our very sweet waitress, and we had the best of service!  Mark's wife, who had was recovering from surgery, made us a delicious gluten free brownie cookie with almond and coconut flour as the base.  The waitress brought it out with a candle in it for Alissa!  It was such a sweet time.

Alissa has brought our home so much joy- she looks on the bright side of every situation, is kind,  overlooks faults, is diligent in her school work, and is a friend to everyone.  She loves Jesus and spends time with Him everyday!  We are blessed to have her as our daughter.

Happy Birthday, Alissa!
