Over this past year Chris & Donna have been trying to adopt. This came after years of trying to have a baby on their own. Through a series of God ordained events they now have a beautiful baby, whom they named Alisha, as part of their family!!! Here is the celebration they had with the Flipside family!!! Oh yeah, Shellie helped plan and set up for the day along with some pretty amazing and creative ladies... she loves this kind of thing!
