Anna turned one year old this past Friday and Bob and I could not wait to celebrate with her! We were both fortunate to be off of work for her big day, so we planned to spend the day as a family and then top the day off with dinner at Happy Joe's at night. Going to Happy Joe's for your birthday has always been a big deal in my family and so I was thrilled to share the tradition with Anna. We started off the day by waking Anna up with some birthday balloons. After breakfast, a trip to the grocery store to pick out her birthday cake, and some playing, Anna went down for a nap. After a marathon 3 hour nap we woke Anna up, had a quick lunch and headed out to the NEW Zoo. Anna had a blast feeding the goats and alpacas in the petting zoo area and enjoyed playing on the swings and going on the Merry Go Round...which has always proved to be a favorite of Anna's! After the zoo we drove straight to Happy Joe's where Anna enjoyed riding the Merry Go Round there, her first taste of taco pizza, and her first birthday sundae! We were thrilled to share the night with grandmas and grandpas, my grandmother, and Becky and her two girls, Abby and Izzy. After dinner we all headed back to our house where Anna opened some birthday presents and had some cake. Anna certainly didn't waste any time getting down and dirty with the cake - she went right for it! Overall, we had a wonderful day with Anna and are looking forward to her first birthday party next weekend!!!
I will let the pictures share our big day!
