Seven Fun Filled Years

So what do you do when you share your seventh birthday with your grandpa and grandma's viewings, funerals and burials? For Annelise, her birthday was not quite what she had in mind, but she was a great sport and made the most of her big day. Steve and I awoke early and snuck out the door alone with Annelise for a birthday breakfast at the Blue Plate Diner in Sugarhouse. Over omelets and waffles we spent our time together discussing the perfect way to do a cartwheel, the first grade social network, and which AG doll was most fun to play with. 

We were grateful for Grandma Ebert who hosted a birthday party, complete with a beautiful chocolate cake and the American Girl Doll horse, Liberty, and cousins, aunts and uncles who helped Annelise celebrate.  

When we returned home from Utah, more celebrations awaited our sweet birthday girl. Grandma Gretta took Annelise to the American Girl Store. Annelise choose a selection of new items for her dolls, including a baseball outfit, new glasses, high heel shoes and a star sweat shirt. Annelise patiently waited for baby Mia to be born so that she could then celebrate her seven fun filled years with her closest friends. On June 12th, we invited nine first graders to join us for a tea party at our home, complete with up dos, twists and curls at the beauty salon beforehand.

Happy Birthday Annelise.

We Love you!
