Celebrating Anna

For more than a year, Anna has wanted a Fin Fun Mermaid Tail. I have tried to convince her that she won't get to use it very often, but she has stayed steadfast in wanting one. So we got her a mermaid tail for her birthday. And she was thrilled. Of course that meant that we needed to go swimming on her birthday. The pool we went to doesn't exactly allow mermaid tails. They let her use the fin without the skirt in the deeper pool and then an hour later when the shallow pool opened they let her use the skirt. She was disappointed, but she kept a good attitude and had fun.

On Saturday, Joel and Brandi came to celebrate Anna's birthday and to keep Brandi's promise to watch Frozen 2 with the girls in the theater. This has been a highly anticipated event as the girls had never watched a movie in the theater. I'm glad I waited for just the right movie. They loved the experience....and the popcorn!

Everything for Anna's birthday party was unicorns and sprinkles. It's been a few years since she has had a family birthday party at home and she loved it.

She opened her gifts and played with her cousins and ate lots of food. Not much can beat that!
