Cousin Jake, Mammie, and Silly Aunt Debbie, the creaters of Annie's birthday cakes. Didn't they do a great job?

A tired Annie with cousin Jessie. Annie still sucks her thumb when she's hungry or tired.



Cousin Shelby gave Annie this little car for her birthday. Not only did Annie love climbing up and down and all over the box after she opened it, but riding on the car is extra fun too!

Thanks to our family members for making Annie's First 1st Birthday party a complete success. We are very grateful for everything you did to make our little Banana feel so special!

Happy Thanksgiving

Our two little turkeys, modeling their matching dresses from Mammie.

Blocks!

Who knew a few colored blocks could be so exciting?

Pinkalicious, The Musical

Last Saturday, Lauren, Aunt Stephanie and I had a very special girls only outing. (Mammie was planning to come, but because of Papa's knee injury she was unable to make it) We saw Pinkalicious, The Musical!!!!


Meeting the cast and getting autographs after the show. Lauren wanted to meet the characters, but when it was her turn to take a photo or talk to them, she clammed up.


So happy to be spending time with Aunt Stephanie in the big city!

Two Little Monkeys

We had so much fun celebrating Halloween with Aunt Stephanie!

Daddy and Lauren went trick-or-treating, while Mommy, Annie and Aunt Stephanie stayed home to pass out candy.



Last week we had a surprise visit by Mammie and Papa on a Tuesday evening. They were on their way to South Dakota and delivered Lauren's big bed to us. What a better way to spend a Tuesday evening than carving pumpkins with Mammie and Papa!



Annie was already in bed when we carved pumpkins that Tuesday evening, so she and Mommy had a special carving Sunday afternoon while Lauren was still napping. Annie sure loved holding onto the big spoon and pumpkin.
