Happy Birthday Anna!

I can not believe that my BABY girl is five! That just sounds too old. We had a wonderful day on her birthday yesterday. She was so excited about going to school since she shares the same birthday with her friend, Mia. We took petit fours with A's, 5's and M's on them to celebrate. After school we met Chad for a birthday lunch at one of Anna's favorite places. Anna also had ballet, and then we had a birthday dinner at home. Her meal of choice: filet mignon, green beans, dinner rolls and caprese salad.

We are so lucky to have Anna! She is quite a personality, and she definitely keeps me on my toes. Anna has an amazing memory, and she is very inquisitive...sometimes we have to google for answers to her questions. Her favorite "toys" are her brother, books, dolls and princesses! When asked what she wanted for her birthday, she said books, clothes and shoes...she is my kind of child. Anna loves her brother so much, and she is quite protective of him. She loves her friends as well, and she is quite the social butterfly. She actually had her first sleepover after her friend Mia's birthday party on Thursday night. I was WAY more nervous than she was! She had a blast, and apparently the only time we were mentioned was when she said her prayers at night. She didn't want to leave the next day!
