Anwyn had a birthday

We celebrated Anwyn's birhtday on Friday, January 25th (one month after her actual birthday on Christmas Day). We have found that waiting one month for her birthday is the best way for her to have a nice birthday that doesn't get lost in the shuffle of Christ. It was a snowy and icy day, and the kids ended up being sent home from school a few hours early because of the storm. We were excited to have some more time to play. We kept things simple this year and invited a few families over for cake and ice cream (the Wrights and the Tarrants--the Barrotts couldn't make it because of the icy weather). Anwyn requested a Texas Sheet Cake, and teriyaki meatballs for dinner, and she enjoyed her new Lego Friends gifts.

Anwyn is a sweet girl. She is very helpful at home, especially with her brother and sister. She loves to read books (and wakes up early-6:00a.m.-to read before school). Her current faves are Beverly Cleary and Ivy and Bean. She likes to play outside with neighbors, and she is learning to write in cursive. We are so thankful to have her in our family!
