Alicia gathered a few of us together last week to help Chris celebrate the 11th anniversary of her 39th birthday. The inscription on the card I gave her tells the story... she doesn't seem to age; I just don't think she's really trying! :)
Here is the birthday girl!
I have to say, though, that I am pretty sad at this point. Chris and her lovely family will be heading to Panama at the end of the summer to live for at least a year. Man, am I going to miss her! We will definitely have a welcome home party for you, Chris!
Here are more photos from the celebration. I have to tell a little backstory about Alicia's dress. This was actually Chris's dress when she moved to MO from Florida. She soon realized that it wasn't really a MO style and gave it to Alicia as a white elephant gift. That was MANY years ago! Alicia remembered that she had it somewhere in a box and dug it out to wear it in honor of Chris's birthday. Too funny. I know I have a photo (or two) of Alicia wearing it at other parties through the years. That dress has quite a long history! ;)
