Anna's 3rd birthday

On June 3rd, Anna turned 3!  Anna...so much to describe this little girl of mine.  She has lot of energy  and loves life.  She usually wakes up super happy every day.  She is a very intense girl...happy or mad/sad. There is no in between. She is strong willed.  She loves to cuddle and can be very sweet!  She is super independent.  She tries to keep up with her two older sisters and does a pretty good job with it. She wants to be included in their play which doesn't always go well with 3 trying to play together.   She loves doing puzzles, coloring and playing with playdough and can sit doing those things for long periods of time.  She enjoys being read to.  She absolutely loves her brother...sometimes too much. I often have to tell her "Don't touch Timothy!"  She is emotional, and we see a few tears during the day. We have to remind her to use her words and not to cry when upset/mad.   She has given up naps, but goes to bed well at night so we don't complain.  Anna brings much joy to our family!

Here are some photos of her wonderful day!

Good morning, Birthday Girl!

Such a happy smile in the morning.

Megan was super excited to celebrate Anna's birthday!  You can definitely tell these two are sisters!

Anna received this cute princess outfit from Grandma Armstrong and was so excited!

Making beds...apparently I didn't let her out of chores on her birthday.

Doing more chores on her birthday. She is a wonderful helper!

Auntie KK hung out with us all day on Anna's birthday making it very special!

We got to eat at McDonalds for her birthday lunch, and then she got to play at the play area!

Princess Anna!  She is in another outfit from Grandma Armstrong.  She had to try this one one after she opened it. 

She got to play in the nursery that night at church...one of the last times she was in the nursery. Big church here she comes!

Last celebration before bedtime were half priced shakes.  We took shakes to Grandpa and Grandma's house after church and enjoyed celebrating at their house!

Anna, We love you so much and are so thankful for you!
