Happy Birthday to my sweet Annamarie!
Being "One" truly suites her. I remember just months old and how she could light up a room with her smile. . . but now she is just too proud and happy to be on her own two feet and part of all the action. She beams everywhere she goes. . . giving the best hugs (with a sweet pat on the back), purposely creating "uh-ohs" and chuckling, and teaching Tyler and Carter she can hold her own. She's one tough cookie with so much personality. It's hard to outshine her brothers sometimes cause they always get so much attention, but as she waves bye-bye to strangers and stares them down until she gets a smile back, my little girl often steals the show.
It has been a never ending celebration with parties and Auntie Rhonda and Uncle Ben up visiting. From the actual day and intimate dinner with my parents and Nana (her great-grandma) to a wild and crazy owl-themed party with family and friends. . . Anna has lived up every moment! She amazed everyone by prancing around showing off her new walking skills on her big day- the life of the party. It was hysterical and too cute. (Keep reading to take the poll we had at the party!)

Anna! She is such a big girl! Love all the photos. Love you all.
How I loved seeing Anna in the same dress I made for her Mommy on her 1st birthday!
Oh, and I think she looks just like her Gigi :)
