Welcome Ingeborg! Alana's 8th B-day party

 Our new foreign exchange student arrived on my B-day.  She is from Norway.  Since it was Sunday we all got ready for church then went to the airport with the posters the kids made and got there just in time to see her get off the airplane.  We were all excited to meet her.  Her English is very good.  We took her to church for the first time and helped her meet some new friends in young womens.  We got her into Perry High School so she will meet many people there and get to walk to school.
 We had a little B-day party to celebrate Alana turning 8!  She invited her cousins and her best friends from school.  We had pizza, cupcakes and icecream and then headed to Basha Pool for a fun evening!  They all had a blast swimming, going down the slides, lazy river and the diving board.

 Alydia and Ingeborg are already friends.
 Alana got a couple gift cards from Target which she used towards a Kinect for the X-Box.  She loves it!
Her cousins Patsy and Monroe gave her a fun game!  She also got a scrapbook kit and art supplies.  We also took her to build a bear where she picked out a dog and an outfit....she loves stuffed animals, art, and games.
