We had a birthday party for Anna and had a great time! First, she opened her gifts from Dad and Mom on her birthday. She was too interested in the gifts to pose for a photo!
I made a birthday crown for Anna but could not get a good photo of her looking at me while wearing it. She did actually like wear it though! Here is a video of Anna and her friend Reese jumping in the bounce house! Anna opening one of her many gifts! And of course, cake! We didn't get that many photos so if you got some good ones, please share!
One of the many favorite photos from when she was born (such a Daddy's girl!). And here is Anna now, singing a little bit of Happy Birthday (and totally distracted but she still did it).
They seem so big to us but they are still on the small side, but like Anna, they are tall in comparison to their weight. It will be interesting to see where they end up!
Here are some of our favorite blog posts from the past year as we get ready to celebrate Anna's 2nd birthday! It is hard to choose and there are lots of others but here are a few of the great videos from the year:
Anna was having trouble sleeping in the car with the light from the headlights for the last part of our car ride down to southern California. She came up with her own way to solve the problem, she pulled her beanie down to cover her eyes and was able to fall asleep that way. That's our silly girl!
Today Olivier and Mason are two months old! They are starting to smile and coo. It is still impossible to get a photo of their smiles but hopefully we will get smile photos soon! They go back to the doctor at the end of the month so we will see how big they are at that time.
Today is our 8th wedding anniversary! Wow! Just wanted to post a few photos (hard to choose out of the more than 400 we have!) to share. It was an amazing day with a great party to celebrate and we have been celebrating ever since. I love you!
Right after the first kiss!
Inside the church. Lots of smiles! Outside the church. We were blessed with a beautiful January day! Laughing at each other. Happiness, need I say more? Beautiful shot with the church behind us. At the reception after one of the million of kisses! First dance photo that I love.
We have had a busy house! Anna is having a lot of fun showing off how much she is learning and the boys are getting bigger by the minute! Here are a few photos and a couple of Anna videos for your enjoyment!
Matt with Mason: Anna showing off how she can put her jacket on herself (never mind that it is backwards!): Olivier and Anna on the ground. Olivier was on the ground and Anna decided that she wanted to be too! Olivier displaying the classic "I give up" pose: Anna showing off the pretty dress that Aunt Michelle made for her: Can you say cute? :-) Anna is learning more songs (besides The Wheels on the Bus) and is showing off her rendition of Twinkle Twinkle Little Star as she is bouncing on the sofa. And here is a video of Anna giving her rendition of the ABC's. She can count to 10 very well on her own so we are working on the ABC's now. Needless to say, we have a ways to go but she is getting there!
We rang in the new year with sleep! The boys slept for seven hours in a row overnight for the first time! Yeah! They ate and went back to sleep for another four hours. We like that! We are looking forward to the year ahead and all the exciting milestones that the kids will have. Soon we will be celebrating Anna's 2nd birthday, how time flies!
Here is a video of Anna and her friend Reese jumping in the bounce house!
And of course, cake!
