A Birthday Party for Anni!

It wasn't arranged, but somehow both sets of grandparents were in Germany on the same weekend. So, although Annika's birthday is April 1st, we didn't let that stop us from having a party on the 20th of March. I don't think it's possible for a little girl to be any more excited for an event--she could hardly contain her emotions! After her nap, she dressed in her new party dress, donned her birthday cake hat, and put on her cinderella shoes (which she wore for over an hour!) When all the family arrived, we made party hats, ate a delicious dinner, and then opened presents. She loved everything she was given, but was thrilled with her new princess set--a tiara, gown, shoes, purse, earrings and ring, which she wore the rest of the night. When we sang happy birthday she beamed and asked us to sing over and over again. She was happy as could be all evening, and it was so much fun celebrating with her.
