Celebrating 9 Years

Annie officially turned nine on June 4th...very quietly. Earlier that day, I left work early to pick Grant up at the fairgrounds. Buses pulled in with loads of 5th graders who had left for Camp Fitch just a couple of days earlier.

In the midst of tryouts for travel soccer, Annie also had a full day. We managed a recipe from our Sweet Serendipity cookbook; pink ice. What a great way to unwind from a busy day.

Later in the month, Annie celebrated with a Hawaiian themed birthday party. We had a full house of girls; a nice mix of long time friends, baseball buddies and classmates from school. Even though Annie has a bit of sass, she was grateful that mom gave her a special evening with friends.
