Annie’s Birthday

Today Annie turned 8! I can’t believe it – where has the time gone? She is such a special little girl. We just love her to pieces! Our school is off track, and Dan had the day off work, so we had the whole day to have fun as a family and make Annie’s birthday a special day. Dan started it off by whipping up one of Annie’s favorite foods for breakfast – crepes! She was one happy girl!

Then she got to dive into her present pile! She was sure excited about this.

And I was excited to give her her first set of scriptures with her name engraved on them. I got my scriptures on my 8th birthday, and I still use them. Hopefully these will last her a long time too!

We also got her some cute classic books to start a little collection, and a bright pink peacoat.

She got her very own bat, glove, and ball! She has been showing interest in playing softball lately, and although I don’t think she’s quite ready to join a team, she loves going outside with daddy and having him pitch to her so she can practice her batting. Now she can practice catching too!

Leah was so happy to pick out this stuffed Tinkerbell doll for Annie. Cute sisters, and best of friends.

And Grandma and Grandpa Walton sent Annie an adorable grey sweater and 8 dollars! She was very excited about that money:)

In the afternoon we took her and her friends to the movie theater to see Hotel Transylvania in 3D. The girls had so much fun. Left to right: Leah, Kylie Bowers, Ashby Bellows, Annie, Kiah Cronin, Abigail Talbot, Anna Simpson, and Zoe Jenkins.

Then to Baskin Robbins for ice cream!

These three are so cute (and silly) together. They are in the same class at school, and their teacher is nice enough to let them sit at the same table. They love it.
