Birthday Surprise!

Our little AnaBelle has turned three! She has been waiting for this for a long time now!! What a fun little critter to have around. The night before when I was tucking her in to bed, we were talking about how it would be her birthday when she woke up. The next morning as I was still laying in bed I heard her wake up and then she ran as fast as she could into my bedroom. With a huge grin on her face she shouted, "It's my birthday party!!" It was so cute! I think she had a pretty good day. We took her and Matty bowling in the afternoon. They loved it and would run around saying "I Win!" every time they sent the ball down the lane. Kyle and my dad and I had a good time bowling too!

Aletha Durtsche made a FABULOUS cake (as usual). Anastyn loved it and it was Delish! We had family over for taco salad, cake, ice cream, and chocolate covered strawberries. Anastyn felt so loved!! Unfortunately, her daddy got called into work and had to miss the party. We sure appreciated everyone who came to help her celebrate!!
Opening presents at this age is quite the fiasco! She got lots of great toys and adorable clothes. The next day she finally sat down next to me and asked me to read her cards to her (she had no time for such things when there were presents to open) :)
I don't know if you can read the t-shirt that Anastyn got for her birthday, but Anastyn wasn't the only one who was surprised!! :)

Happy birthday AnaBelle! My kids love bowling, too. Infact, for Griff's 5th birthday, we went bowling. 5 four and five year old boys with just me to supervise. I think it was fun?

LOVE the pictures. So gorgeous! The Big Horns in the background made me homesick.

By the way, I've changed blog addresses: it's now teapartyplace.blogspot.com. Don't know if you knew, but that's where I am if you want to find me.

Oh, and I understand you are the YW pres in your ward. Lucky girls is all I have to say!

Congratulations. I have to tell you, I absolutely love seeing Maddy around the school. She is always so happy and sweet. But I did have to get a new hairdo because every time she saw me she got really excited and would say "MOMMY!!!" She was sadly disappointed when it was me. So needless to say, I have changed my hair so it won't confuse her so. She is adorable.
