Alyssa's 18th Birthday

As usual, we went to Tepanyaki for dinner on Alyssa's birthday. After such a terrible experience last year, we were determined not to have a repeat of that. So we called a week before to make a reservation, we showed up early, and we were seated within a few minutes of arriving. Dinner was good and our chef was fun. 

Instead of cake, Alyssa chose 2 gluten free desserts from Costco. French macarons and creme brulee. Both were delicious.
A few weeks before her birthday, she begged me to finally let her get highlights in her hair. I have been trying my best to convince her not to do it, since it will not be just a one time purchase, but I finally gave in for her birthday. My normal stylist couldn't get her in until mid January and she really wanted it done as soon as possible, so she found a stylist online that could get her in the following day. She was really happy with the result.
As part of her birthday gift, we also sent her to Colorado for a week to spend some time with the Knudsens. She had a lot of fun there with them, so much that we only talked to her once for about 5 minutes during the week long visit.
