Celebrating Three

Dear Anna,

This past week you turned three years old.

That smile in the photo above says it all.

Here's a bit about you right now:

You love tomatoes.

You love barbies - specifically Disney princess Barbies.

You love dressing up like the princesses.

You love pink & purple and sparkles and lipstick and nail polish.

You love your parents, cousins, aunts & uncles, Grandmas & Grandpas and Katie and Kim and Emma.

You love your brother, big time.

You love to sing, songs you've heard and songs you make up.

You love your school and your teacher reports that you are a little ray of sunshine.

You love chicken noodle soup (especially the noodles).

You still love apple juice best, with lemonade a close second.

You love your ballet & tap class.

And we love you so, so much.

Love Mom

    If Anna is anything like you, then I think she'll love to look back on this someday! (I know I would). She is seriously adorable, and I can see from your pictures and words how much joy she (and Simon!) bring you. Happy Valentine's Day!

    Oh Happy Birthday Anna!! She's a love. Pink and purple ruled my girls life too, still does, purple more so and she is already 14!! She also thought Barbie rules, and entertained her and her imagination for hours. Great job Mom!! Have a great day and enjoy!!

    happy birthday Anna...they grow up way too fast. I blinked and my little guy turned three recently too. I love your letter to Anna - got me a little choked up thinking about what my son loves right now too. :)
