Anna's 2nd Birthday

"Before you ever took a breath

Long before the world began......

Of all the wonders He possessed

There was one more precious....

.....You're beautiful

You are treasured, you are sacred, you are HIS"

--Beautiful, Mercy Me

Anna's 2nd birthday was on March 27th, a Sunday. After church, we went to Sweet Tomatoes to celebrate. ST is one of the kids' favorite places. They have booths and endless mac and cheese, it's a winner.

I bought a cake to take to the restaurant so Anna could blow out her candles.
She KNEW it was ALL. about. her.

And John knew it was all about CAKE!

Happy Birthday, Anna Banana! You are so precious to our family. We love your laugh, funny personality, "shifty eyes", cuddliness, independence, adventurous personality. You make mommy laugh when you yell "STOP IT, JOHN!!" with the authority of a 15 year old. You say lots of words and make pretty good conversation. You like to boss John around and you love your bunny and blanket. You have big brown eyes and very long eyelashes like Mimi. You don't like wearing dresses (to mommy's dismay) or socks. You like to pick out your clothes and you can put on most of your shoes by yourself, thankyouverymuch. One of your favorite phrases is "I do it". You also say "I lub-oo" for I love you and I really don't want to hear you say it the right way because it's sooooo cute. You loooove, looove, loooove your Daddy. You love reading books, playing with baby dolls and purses. You like wearing mommy's high heels and you like running, doing gymnastics, and summersaults. I can't wait to see what these year brings out in you.
