So, our Anna turned 7! I can hardly believe it. Just one more year until she is baptized. She is the sweetest thing ever, still. We often tell her what a great peacemaker she is, and she has really taken to that. She helps other people feel good about themselves. She knows, intuitively, how to solve a problem between two people, without ruffling too many feathers. I think she is a lot like her dad in this way. She is also very sensitive to emotions and spiritual things, having deep feelings, sometimes spilling out in tears. I think she gets this from me. She is really coming into her own this year. She is so much more confident at school and in her reading this year. She continues to make friends easily, and is friends with just about everyone. We are so proud of her. She really is a ray of light in our home.
Here she is eating her favorite meal off of our special birthday plate.
On her birthday we celebrated at home with a spaghetti dinner, cake and ice cream, and presents (she got Emily Bennett, the American Girl doll she has been asking for for months). We also watch High School Musical ( I liked it pretty well). The next day we had a little party at Jungle Bungle (it is sort of like Chuck E. Cheese, except better) with my brother, Todd, his wife Deanna, and their 2 kids Alia and Lawson. It was a lot of fun. The cousins love each other, and Jungle Bungle is always a fun treat, very loud, but fun.
Here she is with Emily.
We love you Anna!!

Happy belated birthday! Sounds like you had a lot of fun celebrating.
Anna looks so old! Allie will be so jealous. She knows the names of all the American Girl dolls because we get the catalog. Happy Birthday, Anna!
