We had a great day celebrating the life of our favorite two year old. To save on time I have kept the photos in order of how I uploaded them, so they are backwards from end to start of the day. Here is a look at the princess's Birthday.
Lounging with Dad after a big party. 
Great Grandma Ramona gave us this tent for Christmas. We set it up for the party and Anna was instantly in love. She will sit and read books, take care of her baby and color in here! It is great! Thanks Gram!
Anna and Audrey love to play together. We are so thankful for their cute little friendship. Anna did a great job of sharing her new toys (she even dubbed one of the dolls as "Audrey's"and still will refer to it as that!)
I don't know how this got flipped, but I am not going to fix it. Here are the cuties again.
I wish I caught a better photo, but Anna was BEYOND EXCITED about this doll house from Papa and JoJo! She LOVES it! Thank you so much you guys!
Getting it out.
The girls, Anna is my little buddy, it is so fun to spend each day with her. She is showing her princess power off and as you can see there is one caste tower standing (sort of).
The fam.
Daddy's little girl. They have the cutest relationship, it is so fun to watch them together. Daddy is getting introduced to the girlie world of princesses, dolls, baby's, tea parties, etc. and is coping quite well. He even surprised us with pink purple and yellow balloons for the party! Way to go!
"Princess!"

"Ayin" and Sone" We are so lucky to live close to Dave's childhood best friend Alan and his cute wife Whitney. Anna love to play with Lincoln and Sloane and can actually pronounce Lincoln's L even if she say "y" for the rest of the names! She loves Alan and Whitney as well!
Waiting patiently for cake.
More tent action
Greeting some of the guests
Dunfords (Issac and Anna are about 8 months apart!)
As you can see the house was PACKED. I just wanted to invite Anna's favorite people and look who all came. Though it was crowded we had a great time. Dave and I feel so lucky to have such great, supportive friends (and cousins) here in Ann Arbor!
Chillin'
LOVED "birthday cake" and the party! HAPPY BIRTHDAY MY BIG GIRL!!!!
BEFORE THE PARTY... 
I think she ate THREE slices in one sitting, a record... and it doesn't hurt that it was fun!

Anna loves to eat sliced turkey and ham. In honor of her birthday we started using cookie cutters with it. Genius, I have to admit, you want your children to eat? Try it!

We "worked," yes I could be arrested for child labor, okay not really, but Anna comes to work with me everyday and we get to play (aka Nanny) two other gorgeous girls. We have such a fun time together. Anna especially is lucky because she has "two homes" filled with toys, this girl should NEVER be bored! (: I tried to capture some of her favorite things, though I don't think I got very many... so perhaps I am giving myself more work and will make a blog post about her favorite things... who knows?!
Anna will not look at me when I pull out the camera. She knows how to smile for the camera, but gets "camera shy." This picture makes me laugh because I said, "Cheese" and this is what she did, kind of an angry cheese.
This is the face of a not so innocent two year old. I love it. She loves this "princess chair" and Eilidh and Fiona and her "have" to take turns!
Another excited angry face riding the pony. this pony sing, rocks, and rolls and yes i know the WHOLE song by heart. "such a pretty pony, clicky clack, clicky clack...."
Such a sweetheart. I think Anna has such a kind heart she is so loving (despite 2 year old tendencies). She is thoughtful and seems to have so much empathy for people in need. Especially those who are hurt and sad (even in books!) It is fun/ and will be fun to see how this plays out in her life.
This is to show off her outfit from Grandma and Grandpa, so cute! It has a yellow jacket to go with it which is perfect because Anna's favorite color is "yeyo- my favit"
