Good Morning Birthday Princess!
I thought it was the sweetest thing in the world that Annie would not open her presents until Peter woke up. This was the one day that he slept until 9 so Annie waited patiently watching a movie until her big brother woke up. He was very excited since he had picked out a special gift for Annie.
We don't know how they knew but the Fairies left a present for Annie in her fairy garden. They also sprinkled fairy dust all over the garden - Annie loved it!
Inside her beautiful package was a birthstone necklace from the fairies!
Finally time for presents!
Annie was so good about letting her little sisters help! I think she opened one present by herself!

Time to paint!
Later in the morning Annie couldn't wait to try out the legos that Peter got for her. He was so excited to find a little girl version of legos for Annie since she always wants to play with his.

Unfortunately, Annie and molly were sick on Saturday so we canceled their birthday party scheduled for Monday - we didn't want to risk getting everyone else sick right as school was starting. Turned out everyone was on the mend by Monday but we had a nice relaxing day and rescheduled the party for September 24th - closer to Molly's birthday! Luckily, Annie had lots of people who were already exposed to her germs and wanted to see her so she had a great birthday weekend either way!
Happy Birthday, Annie! We are so glad that you were born! We love you!
GNM - ILY!
