Anne turned 8 and she is absolutely great!! We could not ask for a better daughter and sister in our family. Anne amazes me with her abilities in so many areas of her life. She is a very good student and loves school. She gets so excited to learn about anything new. She is so organized and I love watching her organize her life. All her drawers, clothes, books are organized how she likes them. She is the best big sister and she is always helping Eliza and Lucy with something. Sometimes Lucy will run to Anne for comfort when she is sad. She loves to dance and it's fun to see her enjoy that activity. Anne is a kind person and a good friend to those around her. We were so happy and excited to celebrate her this day!
In the morning, we let her open one present. She got Olivia's house.
She got right to work putting that thing together. By the afternoon that house was done! It amazes me how well she can follow directions and put those Legos together!
In the afternoon, we had cousins Kate and Claire come for lunch and an afternoon of swimming. Anne loves her cousins and we couldn't think of anything better than hanging out with them on her birthday.
In the evening we had Grandma and Grandpa Young and Schwitzer come for a birthday feast. After we opened some more presents. She got a new journal.
She got her scriptures and she has really been excited to get these!
And a scripture case purse to put the scriptures in.
That evening we also celebrated Mike's birthday since we were going to gone on his birthday. I did a repeat present but, his other had gotten broken on accident.
We got him a new telescope. This guy loves to look at the sky so, I knew that he was missing his old telescope. This one I hope works just as well as the last!
I also got him a better lens to look at the moon and planets better.
I love this guy and I am so happy we are the same age again. Mike is such a wonderful man and I am so happy he was born and that we grew up so close together. Totally meant to be!!
We then lit Anne's cake with candles, sang happy birthday, and let her make a wish!
We love you Anne and hope you had a wonderful day!!
