February birthdays: Anne

I think these first two are a repeat, but this was the morning of Anne's birthday. She came in initially complaining that Andy kept saying she was three. I said she was three. “No, I not. I two,” she replied. We finally convinced her she is three and she loved all the happy birthday singing all day. 

This was one of our snow days for the kids and Spencer was home, too! We were all able to take it easy. 

I wish this picture were better, but we were watching Sleeping Beauty as a family (Anne's favorite) and Anne just loved it. 

The other spectators:

After the movie we made party hats! The kids love these. It has been a fun, if sporadic, tradition. 

The roads were clear enough that we went to Chicago's Pizza for their lunch buffet. The kids love it! We had a great time. 

Most of us had our party hats on still, and at one point the manager came up and wished the birthday kids a happy birthday. Then he told us we could go to the adjoining frozen yogurt place and request free frozen yogurt! He came back a little later and said he already talked to the owner/manager over there so we could just head over. It turns out we all got a free frozen yogurt! It was very generous and we all. Enjoyed it.

Anne's birthday dinner: quinoa with beans, peppers, cilantro lime dressing, and I think we even had avocado. Delicious!

And here she is wearing Lilia's Snow White dress – Lilia's birthday present to Anne. 

The group. 

Still don't have the camera pictures yet, so the cake pictures will come later. Here is Anne with her favorite! A Sleeping Beauty dress with some necklaces. She has worn that dress most days since her birthday. Luckily grandma and grandpa's present that came a little late had a duplicate dress! She has been able to trade and occasionally even share with Lilia!

Our February birthday kids!

Happy third birthday, Anne! We love your many faces, your smile, your laugh, and all your different mannerisms. One of my favorites is your love of a dancing dress and all things princess. We love you, Annie Banannie!
