Annabelle's birthday!

My first born is 7. Holy cow. I can't say that it's gone by fast though. I think I do pretty well at cherishing each moment so I don't feel like anything is missing. She is such a beautiful girl. She can't help but obey, maybe it's a first born thing. She's super responsible and loves her baby brother. She helps with the other kids too. She's independent (like all of my children). She's smart. And her hair . . .who doesn't love her hair? Did I mention how fun she is? You can see that here.


As for her finger--she shut it in the car door. Literally, she had to open the door to get it out. It's ok though. Anyhoodles . . .

She can read now, and read well. She likes to read stuff on the computer so I thought it'd be great if everyone left her a little birthday shout out.

















And the one below--she makes this face all the time. Mostly when she's excited about something and does a little victory dance and song that goes "Oh yeah, uh-huh, Oh yeah"
