Anna's Big Birthday Party!

Anna turned the big TWO on Monday, August 23rd. We threw a fun "favorite things" party for her. Think of the Sound of Music song... "these are a few of my favorite things... Puppies & Ponies & Polish & Painting!" The invites turned out so cute. So we had a little station set up for fingernail painting, a big roll of paper on the sidewalk for water color painting, puppy cupcakes, and pony rides. She loved it!

She got the pink big wheel from Marnee & Papa... and loves it already! She's been scooting around all week!

Cute little apron that Marnee gave her... perfect while enjoying the chocolate frosting on her puppy cupcake!

She was so intent on most all of her gifts... just excited and happy to be there!

Good ol' Willie. Can you believe T even did the braids and bows? What a guy!

Nicole & Mylie painting nails...

She was in this "lip gloss" position for a good 5 minutes. Thanks Sardee!

I found this cute wallet for Anna - she loves opening mine & pulling out all my cards, so I made her some cards of her own. Pictures of all the family, plus some of the horses, flowers, etc. She got a kick out of it!

Some fun info on Anna: She is in the 35% percent in height & weight, so just a little thing! She still is wearing 6-12 month jammies from Old Navy! She is sweet & stubborn at the same time. She loves – I repeat – loves green beans & broccoli. She also loves cookies, chocolate, & any other treat. Won’t eat a sandwich, no matter what kind it is. Will eat bacon & hot dogs though! Loves loves loves getting her hair done, her fingernails & toenails painted, and putting on makeup. She doesn’t want to be left out of anything (she gets that from me). She wants to be doing everything that Owen does… so she is constantly saying, “Anna!” She also loves the horses and the dogs. She could be outside petting and touching them and feeding them all day long. She sleeps well; usually going to sleep on her own (I used to have to rock Owen to sleep). Oh yeah, she also loves sunflower seeds. Crazy girl! She has been known to throw a full on tantrum (at the age of 2?) but also is the most well-behaved little girl ever. She will sit on my lap through church, parties – anything! And she isn’t the type to get into things and make a huge mess – which is so nice. She is dainty. Eating is a process with little teeny bites…She loves her dad like crazy. Loves loves loves. I love her like crazy as well! Happy Birthday my sweet little girl!
