I started decorating the house the night before Annika's birthday after the kids fell asleep. I got all the balloons blown up and a few other things done and than Annika woke up. It must have been those two teeth that are coming in on top, which I honestly didn't realize at the time until Adam informed me the next day that he noticed them when he was brushing her teeth a couple of nights ago. :P Scuse me for not noticing. Anyways, so she enjoyed playing with the balloons, but I knew that once one popped that would be the end of it. Sure enough, she accidently popped one and that was the end of it! Well, I really wanted to get the house done before I went to bed, but I needed to lay with Annika because she wasn't going to lay in her bed by herself and I couldn't nurse her because I already did that an hour or two ago and my milk supply is slowly diminishing. So, of course, I ended up falling asleep since I got to relax and ended up not getting the house done that night. :P Oh well, no big deal!
We were going to have a birthday party that evening, but I decided to give this "My Little Pony" toy to Annika in the morning so she had something to keep her entertained during the day. She loved it! She especially liked pushing the buttons and hearing all the noises.
I love the little look on her face in the picture below. :)
Let the party begin! I guess I didn't really take pictures until Annika started opening presents, but we had a little pizza party. You'll notice a "hello kitty" in the corner of the pic below. That was kind of the theme.
It was cute, during the presents, Annika would tear a little piece of paper off, stop, clap her hands, tear a little more off, stop, clap her hands some more, etc. She was so proud of herself!
After struggling with it for a minute or two, Nolan stepped in and helped open the present.
This little girl below came to join the party. She got to take turns with Nolan in being the assistant present opener. I love this look on Annika's face, peering over at the gift.
Annika will be all set this summer with her new swimming suit! :) She loved the tag the best!
Isn't this the cutest little cake? Annika's Aunt Jeanna made her cake this year and did a fabulous job! This one was for all the guests who came to the party...
And this one below was Annika's very own personal cake to eat! That was the idea anyway.
Don't you just love her reaction? :P
It was kind of sad, she really didn't want anything to do with the cake. I was a little surprised since she isn't a picky eater at all, but cake is a little different, I guess. I think she was just so tired and overstimulated at this point in the party, that she wanted to be out of that highchair!
And here is us singing "Happy Birthday." Sorry, not too easy to see. It's a tradition to turn out the lights each time and Nolan insisted!
