Annie turns 6!

For Annie's birthday, we used our Groupon to Pump It Up for a quick 90 minutes of fun!  The Fry family met us there, and the kids all had a blast!
Racing boys! (Somehow my pictures got all out of order...)
Good Morning!  Breakfast in bed...she got bored after a few minutes and came out to join the rest of us at the kitchen table!
More Pump It Up fun with the Frys!  Our kids are similar ages (her oldest is a year older than Ben), but all genders are opposite.
Spencer, McKenzie, Tyler, Aspen, Melissa, Emily, Lindsey, Mitchell, Ben, and Birthday Girl Annie!
This is the AWESOME hat Sister Fry made for Annie.  She loves it.  I love it because it makes her eyes POP out! 
After Pump It up, we went out for a quick lunch and then fun at home.  The Renchers joined us for a birthday dinner of pancakes!  (Sadie, Megan, and Cambri)
She was so cute opening gifts.  I really love to watch Annie open anything; she is so expressive with her praise and excitement!!!  This year she'd asked for Playmobiles.

We made a super-cute Tangled birthday cake, complete with Flynn Rider and Maximus the horse!
The happy birthday girl.  New clothes.  New Toys.  She's happy!
Things I love about Annie:
1. She loves to take care of people, especially if they are hurt.  Lots of compassion!
2. She'll most often be the child to give in to friends and siblings to keep the peace.
3. Annie has started letting Emily come and snuggle with her when Emily is scared.  LOVE this!
4. Annie loves to go to school and learn.  She is a fabulous reader, still enjoys doing homework, and has great handwriting!
5. Annie loves to help out in the kitchen - definitely appreciate this!  She also loves to drink water, even if there is soda around.
6. Annie is such a sensitive little soul.  She gets embarassed easily, for doing right and wrong. 
Love this little princess of mine!
