Anna turned 5 yesterday! It was pretty exciting for all of us. We're very excited to be parents of a 5 year old. As much as we wonder how in the world this could have happened so quickly and as much as we've loved every stage Anna's been through (ok, maybe loved is not quite the right word for every stage), we are eager to see what God has is store for her this year and feel so blessed to be helping her through it.
Now onto the celebrating!
Yep! She's 5!
Anna was very excited that she got to open a few presents before school.

| Then she was treated to french toast for breakfast. |
We even were able to sneak in a few more presents before leaving for school. She doesn't normally dress like this for school, but Anna decided on this special day that she needed to wear a fancy dress.
After school, we took Anna and her friend Eva to Red Robin (where's Anna has celebrated all her birthdays) and then to a Children's Museum for the afternoon. They had so much fun and played hard all afternoon.
This year's cake--very similar to last year's cake--was a Barbie cake.
More presents after supper--Eva and her family gave Anna a fishing pole (a Barbie one!) and an invitation to go fishing with them next month.
Anna planned the whole day and all the meals. All I had to do was make the cake--it was a great day for all of us! We had so much fun on this very special day! Happy 5th Birthday, Anna!
