We had some friends over to help us celebrate:
The Stewarts (Jacob, Alysa, Benjamin, and Levi)
The Lees (Mike, Evelyn, and Justin)
The Prices (Aaron and Lindsey)
The Leckies (Holly and Mike)
Korean neigbors (see previous post)
Anna got some fun presents:
Books and toys from Grandma and Grandpa Lovett
A headband from the Stewarts
Adorable clothes from the Lees
A classic ring-stacking toy from the Prices
A potty time book from the Korean neigbors
We ate:
Yellow cake with strawberry filling and whipped cream icing
Homemade ice cream: vanilla bean, cheesecake, strawberry, and pineapple mango sorbet
We sang: Happy Birthday to you!

At age 1, Anna:
loves music and dancing
devours fresh fruit of any variety
laughs when we play peek-a-boo
has perfected her crawl (and man is she fast!)
growls at any given animal
Has visited Wisconsin, Indiana, Missouri, Iowa, Nebraska, Colorado, Utah, Kansas, and Oklahoma
Has 4 teeth
Likes being upside down
cries when daddy leaves for school and smiles when he returns
reads books like a champ
climbs up the stairs, but not down
And, to finish it off, some photos of Anna on her real birthday! We celebrated by sharing a free cookie at the grocery store and taking a LONG nap.
Kate, she is just adorable! Happy birthday Anna! I did not know that you lived near Jacob Stewart. I guess that makes sense! That is fun. We should really catch up sometime, I miss you!
