Annie's Party

We celebrated Annie's  Birthday with my parents and Brian's family on Sunday, July 18th at a near by park and it was great.  The weather was mostly bearable for the middle of July and the kids really enjoyed the park.  Annie seemed to know that she was the center of attention and loved it!  She was wandering every where and loved the freedom. 

Here is the whole gang.

Annie was thrilled to have everyone sing to her and was dancing. She then clapped when everyone finished. So cute!

This is the cake I made for Annie.  It was a light lavender number one with pink flowers and royal icing butterflies we made.  To the left is a cupcake I made to look like a flower, just for Annie.

Annie had never had cake before because of her allergy to milk and was unsure what to do with it.

But that did not last long.

She devoured every last bite and loved it!

Off on a little walk in her party dress from her Auntie Sharon.

Opening presents. This little doggy is so sweet and helps Annie want to stay in bed. Thanks Ben and Angel!

Annie loves this little car and plays with it all the time.  She tells her brothers off if they touch it. Thanks Brandon and Sharon!

Grandma Val made Annie this beautiful doll and dress.  So sweet and precious.  Thanks Grandma and PopPop! 

Annie really loved the watermelon and this piece from the table and when people started trying to get her picture she took off because she thought they were going to take it away. When she realized she was safe she sat down and devoured it.  She then got mad at Daddy when he took the rind away.

A special thanks to my Mom and Dad who drove out here and helped with the cake, food and everything.  Thank you also for the books that kids all love them!

Happy Birthday Annie! You are a sweet, beautiful loving little girl!
