Birthday Celebrations!

On Wednesday, April 27th Anna turned 3! On Wednesday Grandma arrived. On Thursday her birthday celebrations began with a special treat at school. We brought in rice krispie treats to share with her class. Also at school she got to wear a special crown, which she loved. She came home from school on Thursday and said, "It was a great party!" Later that day Nana arrived! On Friday we had a party at a park with a bunch of Anna's friends. Great Grandma Jane and Grandpa arrived just in time to join us at the park. Anna was thrilled to have so many people wish her "Happy Birthday" and join her to celebrate her special day.

"Happy Birthday to you..."

It turns out Saturday was also Mini's birthday!

On Saturday we celebrated Anna's birthday at our house with Mom, Dad, Abby, Grandma, Grandpa, Nana, Great Grandma Jane, and Corinne.

On Sunday it was Abigail's turn! After attending two birthday parties in the two days leading up to her own party, Abby was the smartest recipient of a first birthday party ever:

she knew what to do with the presents!

she wasn't surprised by the cake!

and she knew what to do with that too!

Happy Birthday Anna & Abigail! We love you both so much and are so thankful for all the joy you have brought us this past year.
