Anndra is 2!!!

Today was ALL ABOUT ANNDRA... We tried to help her realize what a special day it was by using the word "Birthday" as much as possible. We called her Birthday Girl all day. We made sure her nursery class sang Happy Birthday to her at church this morning. She had a Birthday Lunch and took a Birthday Nap. After her nap, she got to watch a Birthday Show on the computer. We gave her Birthday Hugs and Birthday Kisses. And of course we had Birthday Cake after her Birthday Dinner. ...by the end of the day she was running around the house saying "Happy Birthday!" at the top of her lungs! I think she gets it now. :)



We let her open her present right before cake. It was too big for wrapping paper, so we wrapped it in a blanket instead.



When she saw it and we asked her if she knew what it was, she replied, "Princess House!"



There were so many little dolls & furniture to look at - she didn't know what to do first! - so the other kids jumped in to help her set it up.



They were all having such a good time that they almost didn't want to stop for cake!



As you can see in the picture above, she was VERY excited about the little Dora paper plates. We bought them a week ago and she's been carrying them around with her ever since. For her, one of the best parts of cake-time was that she FINALLY got to use her plates!

Thanks to these friends for helping us celebrate!



Anndra, we love you! We're so thankful for these two wonderful years with you! We're very proud of the big girl you're growing up to be!
