Today we gathered with family to celebrate Anna's 8th birthday.  Before I get into that I thought I would share the answer to the silly questions I have been asking all the kids on their birthday.  The current year answers are first, then 2015, 2014, and 2013 answers.

She is 50" inches tall (I am rounding up just a tiny bit, 50" sounds much more impressive!).  She did a lot of growing this year but is still our tiny, sweet, happy girl!  


Now for the celebration!  Anna wanted donut for the party today so we had donuts!  She loves powdered sugar donuts.

 And I got some with strawberry glaze and chocolate chips.

 The house was pink with horses!

 These two greeted our guests.

 One happy girl!

 They played pin the tail on the pony.  Anna went first and did really well.  It is hard being the first one but she had checked it out before hand so she had an idea of what to feel for.

 She wanted to help other too!  Audrey had done really well at the boys birthday and well again this time!

 There was a collection of boys playing Mario Cart.  It was a great activity for the rainy day.  I love Corbyn watching in the background sitting in the rocking chair Anna got on her first birthday!

 Anna!

 On to presents.

 They were constantly moving around trying to get a better view.

 She got lots of clothes (yippee!!), a pet mouse (not real!), a purse with accessories, lots of supplies for making friendship bracelets, and will be going horse back riding with grandma Linda!
