Happy Birthday Brian!

Today is my sweet hubby's birthday!  The girls and I are very blessed to call this man husband and father.

He is a hard working man that puts God before his family, the way it should be.  I appreciate him far more than I could ever show and I truly love him more each day.

I'll do a separate blog post about this at a later date, but after much prayer Brian has decided to run for Magistrate in our district!  This next year and a half will be filled with lots of hard work and we're looking forward to it!  Prayers are appreciated! :)

Happy Birthday Brian!!!

Anna's 13th Birthday Celebrations!

I'm a little behind on my blogging this year. :(  After doing the 365 last year I think I've felt the need to slack off a little this year.

Anyway - here is how we celebrated Anna's BIG 13th Birthday!

For the past several years we let the girls choose between having a big party or doing something special.  They usually pick the "doing something special" option.

Which is a good thing since it's hard to have family get togethers anymore.

Anna chose to have a sleepover with Sissy and Holly and then to go on a shopping spree!

Within limits.

Here she is in her all time favorite store - Forever 21.

With her fashion purchases!

The patient shopping supporters.

We just had to stop by the Disney Store. :o(

Then we saw Anna's former love. 

I miss the Woody days!  Where did our baby go?!!

The choice for lunch - Chick-fil-A of course!

After lunch we stopped by Old Navy and shopped some more.

 Sweet besties!

 Anna - "Full of Grace"

For her b-day cake she wanted me to make her a chocolate-chocolate cake.  So she found a recipe on Pinterest and we made it together Saturday night.

 So on Sunday the 23rd, we just had cake and ice cream with Daddy and Holly.

 13!!!

 That cake was gooood!!!

See! 

 Brian had to work on her birthday, but was off Monday, so we had some family come by for cake and ice cream.  We made a separate cake for this celebration and Anna even decorated it herself.

 Bella helped her blow out the candles!  (Do the candles look familiar?! Ha!)

Happy Birthday, Nunu!!!  We love you!!!

And she finally got a phone!  Woohoo!

Mama's 67th Birthday

Today would have been Mama's 67th birthday!  It's hard to believe that she's celebrated 9 birthdays in heaven. :)

I really miss her and sometimes it would be really nice to talk to her.  For her to see the girls and give them her Ninnie hugs and kisses.

Anna's 4th Spiritual Birthday!

Today is the day Anna got saved in 2008! So today we celebrate her 4th Spiritual birthday!!! We are somewhere special, but I'll share that in a few more days! :)
