Fellowship with Friends

Saturday we met some of our friends at the park... and before long, Lincoln had Anna eating out of the palm of his hand! And doesn't he look so innocent? :)

New Guest Room Quilt!

Mom finished the quilt I commissioned for our guest room. Hooray!! Isn't it pretty? It is going to look lovely :)

Chairs and Eggs

Recently Anna has been enjoying climbing into and sitting in chairs... so I had to get her this little folding chair.She found this one she liked at the mall today.And we also really enjoyed this cool play area at Willowbend. This is Anna with her friend, Cathryn, on the big grapefruit... don't know who the little boy is. :)
And we had to take this one for Anna's Daddy.

Here she is playing on the eggs.

Another Beauty!

And here's another generation of 1st birthday parties!! My mom's! She is on the far right and that's her sister, Rita, next to her. Her two cousins, Kenneth and Wayne are eyeing the cake.

Just for Fun...

Here's me at my 1st birthday party... and a couple 1 yr old pics. :) My grandpa, Pop, bought me the Holly Hobbie cake and that's my grandma, GiGi, holding me.

I'm 1 and Stephen is 3.

Anna in Anna

I heard on the radio about the Hot Air Balloon Festival in Anna, TX... which is about 20 mins drive from us, so we thought we'd check it out. We got there too early and there wasn't much to do for Anna... we did ride the carousel and then we played in the park closeby, but by then it was only 4:30 and the balloons weren't going to launch til 6:30 (we thought it was 6), so we decided to go eat dinner somewhere... but they said we'd have to pay our $15 to park again if we came back, so we just decided to save the hot air balloon experience for later!

Instead, we decided to go to the downtown square in McKinney and wander around a bit and find some dinner. We ate at a place called The Pantry Restaurant and had a lovely time wandering around. Apparently there is some McKinney thing with these frogs, cause they were in front of several businesses... Anna liked this one in front of the Londoner Pub. :)

Dutch Treat!

Anna decided it would be fun to wear her wooden shoes that her JuJu and Papa got for her on their vacation awhile ago. Isn't she great in them?
