Party Time!



Anna on her 4th Birthday!

We can start with Anna's 4th Birthday! We are grateful for our happy, creative, funny, beautiful, and smart Anna and we elebrated her birthday with an ice cream party where we made our own vanilla ice cream that was dreamy, and played various games and had a great time.

Our tradition is to host friend birthday parties every other year, so it's easy to compare this party to her 2nd birthday party.  I noticed that on her 2nd birthday the attendees were mostly Kate's friends and their little siblings, but now Anna has her own friends who know how to party.  I also did her hair the same as on her 2nd Birthday, proof found here.

A few days later we were invited to our first Fat Tuesday Party and we had our first bites of King Cake.  The kids put on a mardi gras parade and we all had a lovely time.
