Annie's 5th Birthday Party.

1.05.2009

It seems like Annie's been waiting her entire life to turn 5. Why five? Five marks the year when our kids get to start having friends over for a birthday party and Annie is our social butterfly...you put the pieces together!

With a birthday on December 28th, we decided it might be best to wait until January to have her actual party (next year we may wait until February! We were still post-holiday near comatose). Four great buddies showed up to help her celebrate. Since she is the oldest of her little group of pals, this was a momentous occasion.

The theme was Princesses and Princes, which fits if you know Annie. She is of the opinion that tiaras should be everyday apparel.

Hope the pictures give you a slight idea of how much fun we had!

Sweet friend, Annalise, patiently waiting for the cake.





I don't know who was more excited, Annie to receive the gifts or her friends to give them.



Annie and one of her "oldest" friends, Sophie. They've been friends for 4/5's of Annie's life : )



Isabel doing a "funky monkey dance". Hullabaloo, anyone?

VOLUNTEERS NEEDED!


Annie's already planning her 6th birthday party. She was excited to think about spending it in North America with aunts, uncles, grandparents and cousins. However, ever socially minded, she tapped her chinned and queried, "Who will my friends be?"

We would love to be there. I think we could have a group birthday party for all the little girls whenever we can get together.

How cute! I was Annie as a child. My parents could never suprise me with anything b/c I started writing out birthday party plans and guest lists on a big yellow pad in January...my birthday isn't til the end of March.
Wait, I still do that. Is it March yet?
