Six years ago on June 10 little Anna Marie made her unexpected debut into this world. We had our weekly appointment in the afternoon and by that evening she was here. You have brought us so much joy and laughter! We can't imagine our family and lives without you sweet girl! Because of some of the uniqueness of our extended family, we have been "celebrating" her birthday over the course of a couple weeks. Bless her heart, she was a little confused of when exactly her birthday was. ;)
The following pictures are from when we celebrated with my mom and dad. What a sweet, sweet time! I made dinner (which happened to be one of the best dinners I have made in awhile - Chuckwagon roast, garlic mashed potatoes, rolls, and roasted asparagus) and then mom and dad brought the cake, which surprised all of us with it's yumminess since they got it at Sav-A-Lot! My mom and dad gave Anna her presents in a older looking duffel bag. My mom explained that someone had given it to her as a gift. She used this bag as my diaper bag when I was a baby! I love it!
My mom and I found the Teacher Barbie in her attic. Who knows how old it is but it is way, way cool!
The girls' last day of school was last Wednesday. We had had such success with Kate's friends just coming over after school for her birthday I decided to try it for Anna's birthday. Again, it worked out perfect! Anna invited 3 friends and Kate invited 1. Once again, the girls insisted that we pray before we ate our dinner of pizza, veggies/dip, chips/dip, and grapes/strawberries. During dinner the girls discovered they all came from homes where their mommies and daddies still loved each other and were married. I was so touched by the preciousness of the moment. Since the girls started school I have been praying for their friends. God is so amazingly faithful! The girls enjoyed some sprinkler fun, dress up, drawing, playing school, and food!
