Happy Birthday!

Today is Anna's 2nd birthday! WOW. i can't believe she is 2!! the little infant that kept me up all night, made my left hip pop out of socket and gave me a herniated disc in my back....she's 2! We had her party out at the family farm. Anna was surrounded by her close family and friends that love her dearly. As usual, I made the cake again. I say every year I am going to just order one, but can never do that. I did a strawberry cake with white chocolate almond icing! yum-o! If you know me well at all, I am NOT into the whole "princess" things for Anna. Everyone is entitled to their opinions and it is just something that is not my cup of tea. If you want to know more, just ask. I'd be happy to share. Anyway, it was a fairy tale theme...frogs with crowns, castle and a little princess. I did purple, pink, green and yellow for her colors. There isn't really much to do when it's a two year olds birthday and they can't really tell you what they want. All in all, it turned out great. Anna had lots of fun playing with all of her cousins. She really loved giving Antone kisses. Anna also received lots of presents. So far her favorite is a colorful chair for the beach. Tonight she was sitting in her beach chair reading a new book to her baby...or at least pretending to read to her baby. I asked her what she was doing and she said "baby cry." Yesterday Chris and I couldn't give her the present from us. I ordered it online and it was scheduled to be delivered today. About 7:15 the door bell rang! The kids just got out of the bathtub and brady runs (in his birthday suit) to get the door...i had to stop him and wrap a towel around him. LOL. Anna's present had made it. I had dreams of getting it earlier today and actually being able to wrap it up cute, but she was getting ready for bed. So we just tore open the cardboard box. She loved it! We got her a pink tote 'n go vtech laptop. They were so excited since it is similar to Brady's Thomas laptop. Both of them were sitting in their rooms playing on their little laptops. Currently, Anna is sleeping with her laptop. She did have her 2 year check up today. Chris had to take her so I don't get many details. All that matters is that she was normal and healthy!

Happy Birthday Anna!
