Anna was in charge of her own birthday party this year.  Once again she did a few celebrations with each of her "groups".  Next year it's going to be one big party!

Pedicure with Jordan!

Out to lunch and shopping with Grandma Nan!

Candy-bar poster and decorations by her sisters

And opening amazing presents from her Grandma Dee and Grandpa Craig!!!!
She started YW at church.  She was happy to move up to where Jane and Emma and the twins are.
Whoops, I didn't mean to publish this yet.  Photo coming from church today.  Here is Anna's baptism a few years back!

Here are some more pictures of her party.  She wanted to do a camp-out with 3 of her friends in the backyard.

Does that look like a campfire on top of the cake?  I tried my best.

To find their movie treats they had to do a scavenger hunt.

This is a picture from the scavenger hunt of all the girls' moms at Olivia's baby shower.  Each clue had a picture of Anna growing up, that sort of included these girls, as they have known each other for that long.

Jane and Anna in kindergarten

Lots of fun memories with Tirzah and Anna growing up

Anna's western b-day party in the backyard a few years ago with the same girls

Then they watched Parent Trap in the tent that Eric set up.  Very cute

12 years old!  It's so exciting!  You have made a sad thing, growing up, into a very happy thing as you keep getting more and more fun, kind, sweet and wonderful.  Happy Birthday Anna!  We love you!
