My baby is 2!



Anna turned 2 on Saturday. I can't believe how quickly the past two years have gone by. They have been so fun with Anna around. She is such a delightful little girl and makes everyone smile. Everyone comments on her huge chubby cheeks! She came out with big cheeks and they have stayed! They are getting smaller, but they are the most kissable little cheeks ever!
Saturday we were up at Donner Lake for a work party for Adam so we didn't celebrate Anna's birthday until Sunday. We had our neighbors over for dinner and cake and ice cream. Anna absolutely adores our them. Gay and Dwain are the very best neighbors you could ask for in the whole world! They are so kind and share everything with us. We are always borrowing things from them and the kids want to go play with them and their dogs all the time. They are sort of like grandparents to our kids. Their two kids are just married with no children yet, so they treat ours like they are their own. It is great! Whenever they are in their back yard Anna will walk over to the fence and say hi. I am just glad they haven't gotten sick of us yet!
Anyway, we had them over for dinner and had a great time. They got Anna this little puppy that sings and talks and she won't put it down. She will not let Ammon or Lily touch it and if they do she screams! She took it shopping with us yesterday and she sleeps with it and she puts it in her highchair next to her when she eats. She gives it kisses and tells me she has a cute puppy. It is so sweet. She puts in the little pack and play we got her and carries it around the house. We also got her one of those popcorn poppers that you push around the house and boy was that a hit! Grandma Margie made her a purple blanket for her new bed. She loves all her presents!
I made her a fun butterfly cake which she didn't eat, but loved the ice cream. She blew out the candles about four different times because she thought it was so fun. She would have done it more if we had let her. She loved us singing happy birthday to her too! It was a really fun and special day! Thank you Anna for being a part of our family and for making us all so happy! We love you!
