One Last Birthday Celebration...

We celebrated Anna Lauren's birthday one last time today...she had a birthday party this afternoon with her friends at school. I typically just send cupcakes to school, but she asked Matt and I to come so we left work early so we could join in on the one last celebration.

She chose a "princess" theme for her school party...

I thought the boys would complain, but they never skipped a beat and ate the cupcakes up and put on the rings just like the girls...too funny! Matt said they were probably just excited to not be eating their normal snack, which was water and banana today.

Making silly faces in their room before party time...

Putting her candles where she wants them...

Singing Happy Birthday...

Licking the icing off the candles...that is about all she touched of the cupcake...she wants them but will not eat them. No worries...Holli Grace ate her cupcake and Anna Lauren's cupcake...

The attempt to take a "class" picture...yeah right...good idea though Mr. Matt!

Anna Lauren pouting because she doen't want to take a picture...she wants us to come and then she acts up when we get there...so frustrating...

Holli Grace showing off her rings...

Silly girls...

And the PERFECT end to the day...Rachel dropped by the daycare to say "hey", and we spotted her on our way out. Rachel practically raised Anna Lauren...she was her teacher for several years and then left to go to nursing school. We are so proud of her for going to school, but we miss her so much and Anna Lauren LOVES her to pieces!
