Happy 3rd Birthday Anne!

Anne had a wonderful birthday! The fun began at 10:30 Saturday. We had her school friends and church friends over for her kid party. I loved hearing all the little voices in the house. We set a treasure hunt up for them in the backyard.


It consisted of a little seven dollar blow up pool filled with playground sand and prizes. The kids each got their own bucket and shovel to dig for "treasure." They played in the backyard and made foam visors in the house.


Anne's birthday theme was Disney princesses. There were some last minute suggestions by Anne to change the theme to Mickey Mouse, but I told her she would have to wait until next year for Mickey Mouse. Her birthday cake consisted of several cupcakes formed int o the shape of a crown with light up princesses on top, thank you Wally World.

I did a little taste testing and it was pretty yummy. After cake Anne opened her presents with a little help. Thank you everyone for the thoughtful gifts.


After the kid party we went to lunch with Uncle Mark, Aunt Ashley, and Kylie (Ashley's little sister) at McAllisters then came home for a nap.

At 5:00pm we got ready to party again. We had Anne's family party with Papa, Gra'ma, Great Granny and Grandma, Uncle Chuck, Aunt Sandie, Uncle Mark, Aunt Ashley, and Kylie.

This time we had pizza and cupcakes. Anne had no problem blowing out her candle again and was a real expert at opening gifts this second time around.

Thankfully Abby slept though the kid party and was very content to play with the table cloth for the family party.

All in all it was a great day.

Thank you God for giving us three years with Anne. You have truly entrusted us with a treasure and we ask for continued wisdom as we raise her in the love and admonition of the Lord.
