We celebrated Anna's birthday while we were staying with Steve's parents during the move. Wow, was that stressful! Moving and baking do not mix well.
Anna decided she wanted to have a white cake (not yellow) with pink frosting, so I looked all over trying to find a way to make pink icing without using artificial food coloring. I came upon a cake that was just perfect! The icing was colored with beet juice instead of food coloring and you couldn't taste it. It also showed how to make the beautiful roses all over. It looked good for a while, but then it started to melt. That doesn't matter, she loved it.
Anna got two princess books from Grandma and Grandpa, a book called Dream Animals and a movie from Mom and Dad, and $7 from Nana and Pop. She's used $4 to buy herself some princess slippers from the consignment shop.
Anna is such a sweetie. She adores her brother, Matthew, and always wants to play with him and hug him. She loves her dolls and bears and is constantly dressing them up in her own clothes. She is also very musical and can memorize the lyrics to songs quickly. She's always singing a Primary song, and Article of Faith song, or a song that she's made up on the spot. We love our Anna-girl!
