Anna is FOUR! I can't believe it!! This year she had a "pottery party" with purple cupcakes and hot chocolate (all at Anna's sweet request!)



She had a blast!! I just can't believe it has been four years already... what a sweet little love heart she is!!!
She has grown into the sweetest little four year old I know WAY TOO FAST!!!











Happy FOURTH Birthday Sweet Angel!!!

Seeing Santa...

Caroline was less than thrilled!!



Okay, Okay.. She HATED it!



Pretty much the same as last year :)



Benjamin's "cool" reaction was no help either!



Oh well.. memories...

When we got back to the house Beene asked Caroline if she liked Santa and she said, "no". When he asked why she said, "he made me cry". HA!

Merry Christmas to you ALL!!

Ballet!
Yes... Anna was thrilled for her last class to finally be here. For whatever reason she did NOT love ballet! Her ballet days were short and sweet! Here are some photos of our little anti-ballerina:













It's too bad.. doesn't she look like a good, poised little ballerina?? When we got in the car she said, "mommy, I'm so glad that I don't ever have to go back!"
Oh well, Soccer starts next semester so we'll see how that goes! :)
