Happy First Birthday, Anya!

Anya turns one whole year old today. Wow.

She's the cutest little girl ever.

So what did little Anya learn this year? I mean, besides everything she knows. Well, she learned how to walk and how to squawk. She learned about bottles and blankies and cute little shoes, about grandpas and grandmas and kitties and spoons. She learned about bath time and hugs and jammies with feet, about grapes and bananas, how to sleep in a car seat.  And she learned about big brothers. Who love having a little sister.

Anthony gives her a push.

An early birthday present generates much interest among the boys.

Andrea finally gets to put pink on a cake.

 The birthday girl gets her own.

 Which, after some hesitation, gets devoured with gusto.

Presents are always special, but a giant card from Anthony is especially so. "I even put some pink in it" he proudly proclaimed.

If Anya could talk she would say "Thanks to everyone who made my first big day a bunch of big fun!"

"Now, see ya later..."
