HAPPY SECOND BIRTHDAY, ANNA!

Happy 2nd Birthday, my darling Anna! We had a wonderful weekend visit with Auntie Em, Uncle Aaron, Molly and Ben! It did this mommy's heart good to spend the whole weekend with them. The kids spent the whole weekend together and besides the occasional toddler brawl, really played well together and enjoyed each others' company. Plus, the weather cooperated and we got to take them to the nature center and play outdoors. Plus, Uncle Aaron got to put his sensitive taste buds to use and sample the wares at Prison Brews and visit with Stacy T., "Miss Stacy", while Saint Mimi babysat all three kiddos. (Thankfully, they were all asleep).

Anna's birthday was Cinderella themed and she had a blast. In attendance were:
Princess Molly
Prince Ben
Princess Sophie
Prince Harper
plus many other royal attendees as you will see in the following clip.

Here is a video of her receiving the best present ever!: (Notice the look of complete overwhelm on that girl's face!)



Here is some good footage of the royal highness eating her gorgeous and delicious cupcakes!:

Anna's Second Birthday

I had to super size the following picture. Anna had a cough the night Em and Aaron were coming in town but we had planned to make Ben and Anna roomies. We decided to put Anna in our room instead due to her cough. We got all the kiddos settled and visited downstairs. I went upstairs to go to bed and opened the door (thankfully slowly and quietly) and it bumped into something...
Anna Banana had rolled out of the bed and fell asleep on the floor. She didn't even open her eyes when the door bumped her. Poor pumpkin. I put her back in bed and 20 minutes later heard: shuffle, shuffle, shuffle...plop. She was back on the floor. So we gave up the little toddler bed experiment and put her back in her room, where she slept fine... off the floor.
I couldn't pass up the picture opportunity:


HAPPY BIRTHDAY, ANNA!!! WE LOVE YOU!!!
