Annalise's 7th Birthday

Annalise is turning 7.
She has had such an amazing first grade year!
She has found a love of reading!  Her academics have skyrocketed.
Her personality has blossomed as well.
Her report card all year indicated that she could work on being less social in class.
Annalise is our performer.  She will work hard for a laugh.
Our comic relief.
She knows how to push our buttons, she will argue with most EVERYTHING,
and a lot of the time she is way too smart for her own good (and ours!).

She is CRAZY charming and we love her very much.
She makes us smile, she is smart and kind, she loves to be helpful, and has such a tender heart for animals.

She has so many friends, her birthday list could have been a mile long.
She narrowed it down and decided on a Spa Party at our house.
Thank goodness we had AWESOME spa attendants (Avery and 2 of her friends!).

The girls were invited to bring a robe to "spa" in.
They were ushered first into the waiting room until everyone arrived.

 
Next, they were escorted to their "spa chairs", given a book to read and then asked to choose their polish color.  Our spa attendants got right to work on the pedicures!



After the pedicures were complete (and the foot tubs clean), the girls were invited to the table to decorate their tub and a pair of flip-flops to wear home so they wouldn't mess up their polish!


Some spa snacks were served (mini sandwiches, veggies and spa water), then it was time for dessert....yum!




Next up....
presents!!!!!


Annalise's party was so fun!
She felt pampered and special....and LOVED having her friends over for some spa time!
 
On her "actual" birthday she requested coffee cake for breakfast.....
 
 ...and time to open presents!


She had a good day at school and then asked for Chinese food for dinner.
Avery and I had been at Girl Scouts and made some "s'mores"....that's what Annalise had for dessert!





Followed by a photo shoot.
Actually...an attempt for me to get a good 7th birthday picture.
Oh my...this girl has a HUGE personality!!!!
Oh how I love her!



Trying to be serious.....
 

About as serious as it gets!
 

And DONE.....
 





Happy Birthday to our funny, smart, sweet, sassy, amazing and loving Annalise!!
We love you sooooo very much sweet pea!!
