birthday bash

On a beautiful Sunday morning, we packed up coolers, streamers, balloons, cake, presents and more and headed to our favorite lake / beach spot in town. It was a very windy morning - which made decorating a little difficult, as you can see...


Soon our little guest of honor arrived, with nanas, papas, uncles, aunt-to-be, grandma & mom & dad as well...all to celebrate the passing of another year in our dear little Anna's life.


When asked the morning of her party "What are we going to have today Anna?" We were met with a very excited reply..."Ba-la-la-loooons!" And balloons there were! Not only did mom and dad bring balloons, but Uncle Patrick came equipped with our very own helium tank. Balloons on command!


There was swimming and sand castles and walks on the beach. And presents and food and a big Dora cake!




When asked, "How do you like your party, Anna?"...the response was quite funny.

"It's pretty good" she replied...then rushed off to play.


Dear daughter, I think it was more than pretty good. Judging from your smiles, your laughter, your joy. Loved ones surrounding you, more gifts than you could count, yummy cake filled with sugar and kisses galore. I think this was a celebration you will think about for days to come!

These pictures tell it all. A beautiful day, delicious food, "balaloons" and special birthday cake! Does it get any better? Anna may not remember it but we will.
Thanks for all the work you did to make it happen. We enjoyed every minute.
