Mid-June festivities...

Dan's SECOND Father's Day

it was quite festive...

Anna was sure to have her feet in her nose everytime a camera came around

we had a trying day this week...

and as soon as I turned around- I saw why the little girl was crabby...

Anna has learned how to talk on her cell phone in the car..

I see a problem in our future...

Nanny bought Anna a crown.. a PINK crown

the girlie was extra pleased

this was a day when Anna was in a GOOD huggie mood -

you can tell by the 900 billion toys in the background that all got a hug - and then tossed...

Two more...

We went out the other night - and Anna passed out on the ride home..

we could not wake her up - even to put some jammies on..

but when she got into such a big kid position - we just had to take a picture

and I figured that I didn't have ANY inappropriate pictures of her on this blog...

so here it is!

When we're in the garden - we must wear our shades...

.......now that we're one......

we're all - VERY SLOWLY - recovering from the big ONE

here is Anna - playing with some new toys on the kitchen floor... looking a little stunned

she is very pleased to be acquiring so many new toys - but she just doesn't understand WHY she is getting them...

Here she is in the back seat with her new birthday girl sneakers -

playing with her new birthday girl kitty

she has the kitten in a bear trap to read the tag...

like it might get away from her or something?!?

wait until we get pictures of her on her new quad.. WHOA BOY!

Here is the day after the big birthday party - and EVERYONE was pooped

Not too pooped to play with the toes

and not too pooped to sing!

the BIG ONE

Yesterday was the girl's BIG DAY!!

6/6/6

which is now -6/6/7

whoo hoo!!

we started off with our extra-special ELMO shirt that she has been ACHING to wear!!

and it was such a long day - but we wrapped it up with some cake!

it was her first taste of sugar - and SHE LOVED IT!

sadly, the cake was served around 9:30...

so there was A LOT of Happy Tapping with Elmo to try & tucker her out afterwards...
