Happy 6th Birthday, sweet Miss Anna!


Well, it has been quite a long time since you have seen any updates here. This is due to lots of summer fun, a tired mom at the end of the day and an uncooperative computer. Thankfully, things are looking up and I was actually able to get some pictures to appear here. We have lots of catching up to do so stay tuned over the next day or two and we'll get up to date.

We'll start not in chronological order but instead in order of importance....Miss Anna's 6th Birthday. Our sweet little girl turned 6 July 19 and this is a picture of her with her cake. We had a fun day that day celebrating as a family. I took her out for the afternoon to paint pottery and one of those pottery painting stores and then to Krispy Kremes and also a stop at a bookstore. :) we had alot of fun. She wanted pizza for her birthday dinner so we did that and watched a movie. She had a great day.

A few days later, she had her birthday party with some special guests from Colorado. Grandpa Pete and Grandma Donna were here and we got to celebrate Anna's 6th and Grandma's 60th. It was a special celebration w/lots of gifts, cake, food, family and of course, in true VE style, beers. :)
Anna was SO sweet opening her gifts. She sat and took her time carefully opening each one and her expressions were priceless.
Ethan ran inside during the gift opening and grabbed a gift bag and filled it with items from his room that apparently he didn't mind giving away. Here is his sister's crazy expression while examining this scissors she has seen a million times.

The birthday bunch....Nelson turned 60 the day before Anna turned 6 and Grandma turned 60 a few days after Anna's birthday. In case you are wondering, the cake says "60 & 6!" but it is incredibly hard to make an "&" sign with frosting.

Of course, Ethan needs to help blow out the candles.
