After we got Anna up with a rousing "Happy Birthday to You" she opened her card from us at breakfast and then opened our presents after church. She loved her new doll that cries, coos, and sneezes. She had so much fun saying "Bless you" after the baby sneezed. She was also very interested in one of the books we gave her. She loves to read!
We had a bunch of family over in the afternoon for some cake. Right now, it's all about butterflies, so she had a butterfly cake. I was surprised that she really liked the cake, but wouldn't eat the frosting. I was also delighted that she ate the cake instead of smashing it in her fingers and getting it in her hair like she did last year.
Anna opened presents from family after cake. She got books...
...a cool wigglin' waterpillar to make her own "water park" in the backyard. Her cousins were very helpful when she had trouble with any of the unwrapping. 
Anna loved all the outdoor garden and yard tools she got, too. She can't wait to go outside to water something or dig something up.
She sat for a moment to read a card from Grandma before opening the next gift.
Uncle David thought he'd take this tricycle home to clean it up a bit after giving it to Anna to let her try it out. That didn't happen! Anna wanted no part of letting this one out of her hands. Matt and I were not the least bit surprised when she cried when we told her it was time to go inside. 
And what's a birthday without a little "Happy Birthday to You" even if you're singing it yourself!
