birthday girl

Anne turned five! This girl loves birthdays and talks about her plans throughout the year. We began the birthday celebrations on Sunday when we hosted Daniel Dessert. We had a pink spread with angel food cake, berries, cookies, cupcakes, jello, rice krispy treats and marshmallows.

We had her "Yes Day" and presents on Wednesday instead of Thursday (her actual birthday). Thursday was full of other commitments.

She got to keep Buddy Bear from preschool during the weekend. She thought that was really wonderful. On Sunday, when I was completely wiped out from the stake activity I directed, Anne begged for a cake so she could blow out the candles. I couldn't refuse that request. We went to Aunt Keri's house for dinner and brought along a really delicious cake (yellow cake, peach jello and whip cream) so that she could finally blow out some candles.

Annie is full of personality. She loves to sing and dance. She has a great talent for remembering the words to songs. She quit taking ballet lessons for now but she still can be seen twirling and dancing through the house. She loves to play with friends and asks immediately after lunch if she can go to a friend's house for the afternoon. She only likes to wear dresses and leggings. No jeans. She loves many things girly like dresses, makeup, and fancy shoes but hates to have her hair done.
