Saturday, March 5, 2011, Aileen turned 26 yrs old! We had such a fun party for her. She loves to go bowling and that's handy because most of our extended family does as well as do our friends. So it was so much fun to invite family and our friends that love Aileen to come and help us Celebrate!
But before I put up all the pictures of the party. There is a really neat experience that Aileen and Alan had at Christmas time that I haven't shared yet and would like to have in my history.
On the 23rd of December we were in Kansas for my nephew's wedding. My sister, Elizabeth and I drove back to Texas early so we could do all the baking and cooking for our big Christmas eve dinner and Family Home Evening that we have. So this left Aileen and Alan staying in the Hotel to get rest and then drive back Christmas Eve day and then meeting us at Elizabeth's house for the Christmas Eve traditional dinner and activities.
Well, it started to snow and sleet in Oklahoma and Alan was starting to get a little stressed and worried about how could he concentrate on the road and take care of Aileen etc... and was really starting to freak out a little bit....and Aileen took hold of his hand and looked into Alan's eyes and Alan said he heard the words in his mind of, "Calm down Dad, its going to be alright". And he said he knew that it would be! Aileen is such a blessing in our life and she knows her parents better than we know ourselves!!! And I love that she knew just what to tell her Dad so that they would have a safe trip home!
Happy Birthday Aileen! We love you!
