Wow, our little girl sure is growing up! From 4-year-old birthday parties, to her Festival of Lights, even a little baby-sitter manipulation in-between, Annabelle is becoming such a kind, creative and independent young lady!
We had some beautiful weather earlier in the week where her and I enjoyed dinner al fresco while Adam watched some baseball!
Today Annabelle had her Festival of Lights with her "Catechist of the Good Shepard" program. She walked down the aisle proudly holding her lit candle with all of the other children, loudly sang "This Little Light of Mine" and enjoyed a small reception in the church basement after. We are SO proud of her and all of the spiritual growth she's made this year!
She now understands just what that light in her heart is!
After the ceremony we went out to lunch, then came home and watched Bailey stalk a bunny out the front door!!
A little Zoo fun earlier this week. Annabelle make silly faces!
Hippo Kisses!
Yesterday (Saturday) may have been one of the best, fun, and wonderful days ever! It started with a surprise mother's day celebration! Complete with lunch at the Ritz, a beautiful Lladro (which I cried and cried and cried over), followed by a b-day party (dress-up!) then a Derby Party to end the night! Wowza's was it a fun day!!
I think the funniest part of all was coming home to hear Bergen (Devlin's little sister) describe Annabelle's bedtime. Our little lady took COMPLETE advantage of a newbie babysitter. She stalled for 1.5 hours "organizing" toys, searching for something "fuzzy", needing a drink of milk, drink of water, another song, to use the potty 345 times, then to top it off, had poor Bergen searching the house for her mittens! Oh dear.... Here are some pics from that awesome day!
Superman! (A dream come true for Adam)
Ready to party for Blaise's 4th Bday!
The Super Olsens!
And....Annabelle, asleep in her mittens!
Life sure is good!
