We celebrated Annie's 7th birthday with a BBQ (Imagine that.) on Sunday.
And perhaps this will be the year she learns that when your grandma's cat starts growling, it means he doesn't want to be rocked like a baby anymore (hence the scratch on her face.)
I love the tradition of having all three of them together in birthday shots, but given the fact that Cole and Courtney can't seem to get along even when I place a seven-year-old between them, I may have to rethink this tradition.
That's thirty bucks.
And that's a new Polly Pocket set. (Last Christmas, Annie's face lit up when she opened a gift from my Aunt Alicia and Uncle Brad because she thought it was a Polly Pocket set - something she apparently had 'wanted all of her life' but had never received - however, it turned out to be a Polly Pocket puzzle instead and as a result, almost everyone who attended the party ended up purchasing her a Polly Pocket set. I think she got six or seven of them.)
That was a robe (which is apparently something else she had 'wanted her entire life' and had never received - poor kid.)
A hand-made doll from Grandma Bev.
And a new cowboy hat from Target.
Yep...another Polly Pocket set.
Will post the rest tomorrow.


Happy Happy 7th Birthday Annie!
PS (I love that chalkboard! Such fond memories of the Hometown Workshop!!!)

Happy Birthday, Annie! Love that doll by Grandma Bev. Any chance there's an Etsy shop where she sells them?
