Anna had the good fortune to have two "family" birthdays this year. We went up to Wisconsin to see the Carrenos and had a wonderful visit. We miss them terribly, but Sheboygan was lovely and Anna was able to put the stamp of a few more states into her passport of places she has been. For only being a mere 3 years old, she is certainly well travelled. Our last evening there we had a birthday party and Crosby decorated an incredible cake for Anna that only a 10-year-old boy could achieve. It was awe-inspiring, crazy-fun, and an incredibly loving gesture.
On the actual day of Anna's birth, we had a BBQ dinner for our family and might-as-well-be-family members. We got to break in Mom's early Mother's Day gift, a set of patio furniture, which we all agree is the best investment we've made in a long time. Although Anna had a head cold and sounded like Peppermint Patty from Peanuts Gang, she had a lot of fun. Mom was sick, too, so the cake was actually about 2 dozen gourmet cupcakes from Daddycakes assembled on the coolest cupcake tree (also an early Mother's Day gift from Pat & Hugh), which is WAY better than anything Mom could have made anyway. The kids got to play in Anna's birthday gift from us which was a playhouse in the back yard. It's so nice, we're talking about taking a renter! -- just kidding, but...hmmmmm.
Later, Anna announced that, "Last night I was two, and now I'm three!" She's got the math down now.
In an unrelated event, yet still humorous, Anna asked me to make her milk into chocolate milk. I said, "Sure. What's the magic word?" Without a beat she said, "Bippity-boppity-boo!"
