Hot and sweaty at the zoo (95 degrees.) 

Sharing a snowcone. 

Reading and playing lawn dominoes with Grandma Gayle. The library book they are reading has only been read approximately 124,563 times this week. 

 

Anna wears her snazzy new outfit from Uncle Arie and Aunt Jaime! It fits her to a T (shirt!) Craig sports the alligator towel Grandma Gayle brought to him (Anna declined to model the monkey towel for a photo.) 

 

Tea parties outside and in. My mom brought Anna a tea set for her birthday. I was in the shower the day after she received it and the kids were with my mom. Anna went to find her tea set and told Grandma Gayle, "This was a nice present you got me!" Here they are sharing strawberry cider (top) and pretend tea (bottom.) 

 

Anna's birthday festivities started with a celebration at day care on Friday. You can see her here wearing her newly minted crown...and again at the end of the birthday pictures. The crown is looking a little less snappy today.  

Anna reads while Mom gets the fruit salad ready. 

Craig and Dad before company comes over. 

The extremly cool animal quilt top that Grandma Halliday made for Anna.
