SYNCLAIRE THORNTON Synclaire Thornton, daughter of Brad and Courtney Thornton, celebrated her fourth birthday with a Hello Kitty party at her home. The dining room, where the cake and other goodies were, was decorated with Hello Kitty paper lanterns, balloons and streamers.

The kids enjoyed jumping on the trampoline, playing in the playhouse and playing with Synclaire's puppies before they went inside to sing Happy Birthday. After the candles had all been blown out (with the help of her older sister, Sydney) all the children piled in the living room for Synclaire to open her presents.

The piata was the last bit of excitement for the afternoon. Each child got a turn trying to break it open, but it fell off the rope first and the candy went everywhere. All the kids received goody bags to put their candy in.

Helping Synclaire celebrate, along with her parents and sister, were: grandparents, Tommy and Lou Lee; Mrs. Leslie Burton; Mrs. Leslie McAvoy and Paige; Ms. Fran Harmon; Mr. and Mrs. Chris Thornton; Mrs. Amberly Bentley and Kayson; Miss Lucy Dawkins; Miss Courtney Spratlin; Mrs. Stacey Bryant, Hannah and Jackson; Mrs. Janice Mattison and Julie Ann; Miss Katie Britt McKinney; Mrs. Patsy Raley; Miss Chloe Cliatt; Ms. Jodi Hunter and Marc and Dallas Marlow; Miss Rebecca Joiner; and Mrs. Leigh Beggs, Catherine Drew and Judson. Her Godfather, Nicky Smith, stopped by earlier to bring her special birthday wishes.

Synclaire would like to thank everyone who helped in making turning four so special.
