We had a nice day with our sweet little girl. I made a birthday crown for her in the attempt to start a new family tradition. I thought it would be fun to have a new one with each birthday. I made it based off of a tutorial on the "Skip to my Lou" blog but realized I seriously need some sewing lessons. It was supposed to have a "6" sewn on the front but I didn't want to mess it up anymore than I already had. Instead, we glued hearts on the front to hide the botched sewing. She looked great coming but not so great going as you could see all the stitch lines!! :)
Anyway, we started the day with pancakes. They really do spell out "Anna". The final "A" is hidden behind the strawberry.
A few hours later, balloons and flowers arrived from Nana. I had the biggest laugh over this. When the doorbell rang, I called Anna over. She saw the delivery guy standing at the door with the balloons and flowers. "For me?", she asked. She took the vase (or the jug of flowers as she called it) and continued to stare at the florist in surprise. As he was leaving she gave him one of her coy looks, a little smile and then one of those waves where she only wiggled the top part of her fingers. It wasn't until I told her the flowers were from Nana and Poppy that she finally realized that some random fellow hadn't, in fact, stopped by our house just to give her flowers on her birthday!

She had been waiting for the presents since she got up that morning. She got a ton of fun gifts from Granny and PawPaw, Mommy, Daddy, Lauren, Jacob, Auntie Jan and Uncle Mike, and Grandma Ruth.

Nana loves it all, cannot wait until the 20th of this month so when ya'll get to the house and Uncle Wes and Aunt Amy are in we are going to have a big birthday party with Mama Dot, Aunt Pat, Stacy, Aaron, Christian, Grama, Gram Paw Jerry, Papa Dee, Mrs. Geneva, Brittany Chesness, and Champ. We are going to go fishing while you, Lauren, Mama and Jacob are home. We have 5 new baby chicks so you and Lauren can help Nana feed them also. While I have all of my big babies and small babies under our roof we are going to have a wonderful weekend. Poppy has got to leave this week or on Monday for Paris, Texas, but he will be in for the big weekend he would not miss seeing all of you for nothing in the world. Nana and Poppy loves all of you so much. Talk with you later, Lots of Love from 871 Clements Road.
