Anna's Birthday - Family Edition

I went to Anna's classroom to celebrate her birthday with her preschool friends.  Her teachers gave her this cute crown and she enjoyed sharing mini strawberry cupcakes with her friends.  This is Anna with, Blake, her "best friend" at school.  They are such sweet friends!   
Halloween night was yucky so trick-or-treating was moved to November 1st instead.  As such, we swapped Anna's family party to her actual birthday night.  Anna was very excited to wear her Minnie Mouse costume for her family party.  We enjoyed chili (a tradition for us since it was the meal that sparked her arrival 3 years ago) and chocolate-chocolate chip cake. 
After dinner we decided to have Anna open a few presents before cake time.  Jacob was so excited about choosing  gift for Anna and couldn't wait for her to open it!  Jacob gave her a hair stylist set (blow dryer, straight iron, curling iron, brush, curlers, lipstick, and a carrying bag) and headbands.  She LOVES it and we play "beauty salon" a lot at our home!


Oh the excitement when Uncle David arrives!!
Minnie Mouse cake time!






After cake it was time for more presents!  Uncle David bought Anna pink sparkle boots!  It's amazing how excited our three year old is about new shoes!

Nana and Gramps gave Anna a Disney princess castle which she LOVES and has played with everyday since receiving it!
What is a Minnie Mouse party without a gigantic size Mickey and Minnie Mouse?!

We gave Anna light-up Minnie Mouse play shoes (which she calls "tapping shoes").  We went into the dark playroom and she performed a show for all of us.  Her shoes were like strobe lights and she had a fabulous time dancing around!

After we said our goodbyes to Nana, Gramps, and Uncle David we realized we had a bird in our kitchen!  We quickly ran outside to rally the troops back inside.  Jimmy's first idea was a butterfly net.  David quickly informed him that we needed a sheet instead.   :)  The guys were able to coax the bird out of the house fairly quickly and to my surprise we didn't have any bird poop inside!  It was a humorous way to end a wonderful evening of celebrating our beautiful, precious Anna!
