Anisten, You've had a birthday shout Hooray!

Anisten's 3rd birthday was on January 10th! She just loves birthdays and was thrilled that this time she was the birthday girl. Here she is with all her presents on her birthday morning. I swear I took this picture five times and her eyes were closed in all of them. haha

As you can see the theme is once again Princess. This girl loves anything to do with Princess.

Opening her first present. Her birthday was on Sunday, so we let her open a present that she could take to church.

It's Tiana! We took Ani to see The Princess and the Frog about a week before her birthday and she absolutely loved it. In fact, she cried when it was over because she was having such a great time. It was a really cute show and one that we'll probably take her to see again when it's in the dollar movie (she's been begging to see it again ever since the first time).

Here Anisten is after church on her brand new tricycle. It's Ariel and blows bubbles and she talks and makes all kind of sounds. She just needs to grow a little bit so she can reach the pedals better.

Hopefully she'll be able to ride it better in the springtime and then she can ride it outside!

Since her birthday was on a Sunday and we go to grandma and grandpa's house on Sunday, we decided to take her presents there and let her open them in front of family rather than have them come over to our house. This week we were at Grandma and Grandpa Stevenson and Grandma and Grandpa Rollins came over too. Anisten was in dress up clothes when it was time to open her presents. She got spoiled once again with lots of fun stuff.


Here is the pretty Princess birthday cake that Grandma Stevenson made for Anisten. So pretty and so yummy.



"Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday to you.."



Happy Birthday dear Anisten!

Make a wish!
