Anna's Birthday Photos
Just a few shots from last week's celebrations.
She is such a happy, happy kid. Even happier with all her people around.
We had a couple different gatherings last week including an evening with my parents as they came through town.
She had a good helper to blow out the candles on her cake.
Grandma and Grandpa gave her a new set of legos just for her. Simon was distressed that she was not following the directions.
Gotta love pink legos.
She was definitely into opening presents and gave great excited reactions to each one. Both sets of grandparents gave her an outfit that she needed to immediately put on right there at the table.
It's always cool to have my parents around as they usually have a camera in hand too.
And on her actual birthday I made cupcakes. Simple, fun, homemade little cakes of goodness with a bunch of different sprinkles.
Simon came home from school and I let him eat one (Anna was at the babysitters). I went upstairs to work for a bit while he was on the computer downstairs and when I came back down I found that he had eaten two more! Three cupcakes in one sitting. Good thing I made a few extra for when Anna got home.
Wishing everyone a Happy Valentine's Day today and a peaceful week.
ALI-
WHoop WHoop Whoop!!!
Word for the year Alert!
the first thing I thought of when I saw your painting was LIGHT!!!
I hope you see it, too...
"Week three is about using color – maybe it will spur me out of my muted, monochomatic beige and white phase?"

You know Anna has a capital letter at the start right...?
As a first grade teacher I just cringed to see it oh-so-wrong on her birthday cake!

Funny Simon story - typical boy eating as many cupcakes as possible!

You made me chuckle - Noah gets really distressed when lego directions aren't followed either. You should see us when we play "creationary" - no one's good at it but Noah, and he lets us know! LOL
Happy birthday Anna! She's really growing up! :)

She is so cute and such a cute haircut - it does make her look older. As I hug my now 14 yr old 6ft son, I remember the days of littleness. He would've have eaten 3 cupcakes too. Hug your kids everyday!

Looks very nice. Too bad no pictures with Daddy but he was probably taking pictures.
Yep - and he was in others that I didn't show here (lots more photos taken than just this).

Ali...My daughter just turned 2 in November. She has a 7-year-old brother who adores her, just as Simon obviously loves Anna. Thanks for sharing your family with us. You are so blessed. Oh...my daughter loves legos, too. But she needs some pink ones.
