The Birthday Ball

Anne is 4!

She loves to fill her days

coloring and drawing pictures for friends and family

playing with her sister

and her dolls
(and even, sometimes, both together)

riding her bike
(we just took off the training wheels tonight!)

digging with sticks in the mud

and

watching Dora the Explorer

Yesterday was a good day and Anne was sad to see it end.
She kept asking if today was still her birthday.

Here are some highlights from the day:

First thing birthday morning she donned the birthday hat.



The guests arrived for the Ball. Don't they look fancy??


Anne requested a strawberry birthday cake this year. So we made half cake and half cake balls. Yum!

Birthday present time!! Finally!!


My favorite gift, if not hers :) So funny!
