Happy Birthday Annaliese!

Yesterday was Annaliese's third birthday! It is amazing how quickly these years have passed and she is constantly doing things that make me stop and think, "Wow, my baby is growing up!" We had a birthday party for her on Saturday evening and all day she was so excited for Elias to come over and to open all her presents!!

She was very exciting to see the growing piling of packages...Annaliese is definitely loved by all her relatives!

 Playing with some of her new puzzles!

 Birthday dinner...Annaliese requested tacos!

 Trying to figure out how old she is now!

 Selfie with Auntie Kim

 Annaliese has a sweet tooth just like her parents and is always asking for a cookie or ice cream for dessert. However it sounds more like 'dert' than 'dessert' so she got "Dirt Cake" for her birthday dessert! Complete with a few worms:) 

It was a family effort to blow out all the candles!

When Annaliese came into my room yesterday (her actual birthday) I told her Happy Birthday and she looked at me and said, "It's my birthday again! We're having another party?" I don't think she ever really understood that Saturday wasn't actually her birthday but she has finally figured out that she is 3 now! Tonight we opened up a few more presents that had arrived! My little princess is all set now...she has princess puzzles, princess stories, princess tiaras and dress-up clothes and princess stickers! A big thank you to everyone for your gifts!
