Doesn't she look grown up? It's hard to believe it's been 6 years. Annika's birthday fell on a Tuesday this year - just like the year she was born. It made me reflect quite a bit on the happenings of 6 years ago - how I felt sooo uncomfortable on Thanksgiving Day, my doctor's apptmt on Monday and Annika being born early Tuesday morning. God has blessed us in so many ways with such a sensitive, loving, so-excited-about-life and not-so-little-anymore girl named Annika.
Annika requested strawberry cake with white frosting and strawberries on top. Grandma Pollack and Annika made a great cake. Here is Annika trying to keep her birthday crown from falling off while blowing out her candles. Priorities, right?
Just Annika being Annika. . .
One of Annika's favorite presents - pot holder maker from Aunt Lesley and Uncle Eric.
Annika loves her bling. I picked this jewelry box up at a garage sale. Fortunately, I looked through it before giving it away - the bracelet sporting the word "sexy" wasn't quite appropriate. . .
More bling (see ear).
Annika loved making cupcakes with Daddy. This time it was funfetti cake with funfetti frosting. What 6 year old girl can resist the sprinkles?
The traditional birthday photo shoot with Ashley.
Trying out a new game of "Doodle Dice." Let's just say that Audrey's presence made the game go quicker than is intended.
