Her actual birthday!

We have celebrated this sweet girl a good bit. But yesterday was her day. She started her morning with a date. Around 8:30am her daddy came home from work to take her to her favorite breakfast spot...Chick-fil-A. Daddy even took a candle and matches and sang, "happy birthday" to her as she blew out the candle on her biscuit.

Leaving for her date.

I had planned on cooking one of Anna's favorite meals for dinner... homemade spaghetti. However, on Sunday night when we were talking about tomorrow being her birthday she shared very matter of fact that she wanted to eat dinner at "Carolina" (Cafe Carolina) and have soup. She has only eaten soup there once but I guess it made a huge impression on her. So that is exactly what we did. And it could not have been a more perfect evening as we sat within eyesight of another family who had a child close to Anna's age and one close to Aiden's age. Anna spent the majority of her meal watching that particular family. She loved every minute of it! She is a people watcher like her momma.

We then headed to the toy store for Anna to walk around and then home to play outside for a bit. Here is our now three-year-old showing you exactly how old she is! She definitely doesn't make it easy on herself to hold up three fingers!
