Happy Birthday Anna!

Anna celebrated her second birthday this week. Yikes! It is amazing how quickly those two years went by!


Anna had a great birthday. She enjoyed blowing out her candles and then playing with and eating her cake.

She had fun jumping on her presents...

and then opening them up.

And she has absolutely loved playing with
everything she received.

Anna is a sweet and spunky little gal. Her favorite things are shoes, dolls, jewelry, large lego blocks and anything that Josh is playing with. One of Anna's favorite things to do is play dress up. Shoes are her absolute favorite. She also loves books. Any time we sit down, she runs to the bookshelf and then climbs up next to us with one of her favorites. Seth and Aleah read to her quite often, which we LOVE. Anna likes singing and she can hum a tune surprisingly well. Every night Aleah sings Anna to sleep. Anna loves it. It is VERY sweet and just about the CUTEST thing ever!

Anna is talking up a blue streak now. Like all of my kids, she is not shy about letting us know what she wants. Last week she told her dad "I want a hug ... RIGHT NOW!" She actually attaches "right now" to the end of a lot of her sentences. I wonder where on earth she got that from? But we are always happy to gives her hugs and kisses ... right now. She gives the BEST hugs!

We love you so very much Anna! Happy 2nd Birthday!

It was fun to see Dallin for a little bit last week. It would have been nice to see all of you, but I'm not sure we could have fit many more people in our house!

Anna's shoes are adorable. I love it that she is holding/wearing/sitting on everything she got all at once! She is already so good at being 2!

I forgot Anna and Christopher were born so close to each other! I'm loving this new, grown-up stage. =)
