Birthday girl...

Darling Anna,
You turned seven this year! I can't believe it, and yet in so many ways you are getting so beautifully mature.
You are compassionate to people and animals.
You stand up for people.
You are reading chapter books and loving it.
You still love animals so much, you run around pretending to be them!
You love your baby brother and sister, and us too :)
Jack delightedly shouts, "Annie, Annie!" when you get out of school every day.
You are learning how to work hard.
You remember everything!
You are Norah's best friend.
Your heart is tender, and you love the Lord.
You've been playing pretend "wedding" a lot lately.
You still are so excited about life!

We love you, darling girl.
You are special, and always will be
no matter how you change as you grow.


Anna had her friend Amira over for a birthday dinner








Craft time- thanks for all your help Mom!





Norah picked out this Beaver family just for you- all her own idea!

Extremely cool, real-looking animal from Aunt Jo Jo

Love from Nanna

Yay, Granddaddy and Karen!

Thanks to all of the family members who contributed money to buy Anna's birds! She is loving being a pet owner.
