Anna's Birthday Party

Anna is turning 9 this month! This is her last year in the single digits! ahh!!

We decided to celebrate early since baby girl is due 6 days after her birthday. :)

Anna's friend, Reegan, came over for cake/ice cream & presents and then we went to Kings Island for the evening. It was a lot of fun.  We started talking about these plans a few months ago, and Anna could hardly wait for the day to arrive.  Happy early Birthday, sweet girl!

 

 Anna with her friend.

 She's asking for these lego sets.  So fun.  The morning after the party she put the set together in a couple hours. She said, "Mom, I just couldn't wait at all to put it together."

 Molly's (American Girl) swim outfit.  Last year when AG retired her Molly Doll I bought this outfit before everything was sold out.  Mommy score!

 Loving on their big sister. Bless my heart! I love my daughters!

 Bailey 5 .... not for long :)

 Could there be any more sprinkles? 

  This is the first year that Anna was tall enough to ride some of the big coasters. She started out with a doozy, the Vortex.  Afterwards she said "I lost my mind on the Vortex. I was like, 'where am I'?"

When we got home that night, she had a lot to share about her time at Kings Island.  She likes going high and fast but she doesn't like tunnels.  :)

I hung out with Payton and Sarah in the kids section while John and the big girls road the coasters. The carousel was pretty much the only thing I was permitted to ride. Seeing their smiles is the best part, though :)
