Happy Birthday ANNALYN

Just a few days after Jacob's celebrations, we had Anna’s birthday celebrations. She turned 7!! We had a fun swim and splash party with a bunch of her friends and a family party for her as well.

In honor of Princess Annalyn, here are 7 things you should know about her:

1. We know our girls were royal in heaven, but Anna has not forgotten this trait and she expects to be treated the same.
2. Anna likes all things girly!
3. She loves to sing! At any given time, you’ll find her humming or singing a song she has made up, or one of her favorite primary songs.
4. Anna likes to take her time doing things and not be rushed.
5. She likes to have the last word when tucking her in to bed at night, ie: She will say “I love you, goodnight” and then I’ll say, “I love you too, goodnight” to which she says “I love you three, goodnight” and then, of course, it continues “I love you four,….five,…..infinity,….. goodnight”. Yeah, she usually ends up asleep by around 1:30 in the morning. ;)
6. Anna is very talented in many ways, one of which is her creativity with art. She likes to color and create and decorate.

7. Anna is very friendly and easily makes friends.

Happy Birthday Annalyn!! You are a shining star in our eyes! We love you so much and are so happy you are part of our family!!
