My firstborn daughter Anna turned 6 today. It's made me a bit nostalgic for some reason. She really is growing up so fast and into such a big girl. I can't believe it!!! She was so excited for her birthday. She requested an American Girl doll months ago and circled the one in the catalog that she wanted. She kept asking if she was going to get it and then told me that she thought that the wrapped box on the dining room table was the right size for the doll. She was very thrilled this morning to open it and it has not left her side all day. She had another friend's party to go to tonight and had her first slumber party at Mckayla's house. She was having a great time and really having fun on her big day. Gary's mom arrives tomorrow for more fun. Should be a nice visit. Mary's had feet and feet of snow this winter in South Dakota even getting 6 inches on Wednesday!! She will be glad to escape the snow and we hope for decent weather for the weekend. I've included a newborn picture of Anna as well as some from today. Found out this week when she went to the pediatrician's office for a sinus infection that she is 50 inches tall...not too many more inches and she will be as tall as her maternal and paternal grandmothers!! Happy Birthday to Anna Katherine!!
