Happy Birthday, Anna!

Yesterday we celebrated Anna's 5th birthday.  She had an Aristocats theme.  There is a dearth of Aristocats paraphernalia out there but we did manage to get these figurines of O'Malley and Duchess.  So, we decided that they would get hitched and the cake would be their wedding cake.  We also had somewhat of a French theme because the cats from Aristocats live in Paris.



After taking a smiling picture, Anna wanted a silly face. 

She also wanted her favorite, a frowning face picture.

The kids wanted to dress up.  Lukey's knight costume is getting a little short on him these days but he doesn't mind.  There is no need for Anna to go to princess camp again this year.  :)
The kids have enough fun dressing up at home. 


Anna got some really great gifts.  Thanks everyone!  She was especially excited about all the dollars she got and told me this morning that was her favorite part.  

All the cousins and friends in one shot!  And Anna's future cousin is even in the picture via Auntie Beth.

Happy Birthday to Anna!  She's a pretty good kid. Her favorite things right now are cats, legos, playing piano, drawing, taking spelling tests and eating a lot of noodles.  She also loves school. This week I tried to keep her home one day because she seemed a little under the weather.  She threw a fit and started crying and telling me it was the worst day ever and she did not want to stay home.  I gave her a few Tylenol and told her if she wanted to go to school she could and her mood turned around immediately and was happy.  Hopefully her enthusiasm will keep up next year in kindergarten!

Millions of cats..

Last week Anna made a cat circle. I think its safe to say that she has enough cats...she likes them all though and most, if not all of them have names.  Lately she's been playing with Stone, her FurReal cat a lot.  Anna talks to her a lot and likes that she talks back.  She's the only cat that has gotten the honor of being dressed in build-a-bear cat clothes other than the build-a-bear cats.
Oliver liked sitting in the cat circle too.
