Annalise is 8!!!

I just can't believe how old my girls are getting! Annalise turned 8yrs. old today! Because she had a busy weekend with an end of the year trip at a Orlando Resort with her Girl Scout Troop, we decided to have a low key birthday celebration this year. I'm not sure that this sweet princess has had a full nights sleep with the last 3 nights added together! So, we decided to have a small family party to celebrate!

Uncle Kam (her Aunt Cassie's brother) was also born on May 30th and celebrated with us too! Anna decided she wanted to bake her own cake this year and it was AMAZING! She wanted to have a layer with rasberries and pudding with Chocolate Icing! YUM!

(Yes, that is a Hello Kitty cake in front of Kam...he jokingly requested it, and we made it happen!)

One of the things Annalise requested to do on her birthday was for the moms to do "hair wraps" like they offered (for a pretty penny) at the resort they were at this weekend! We gladly said yes to save them money this weekend ($35 - $45 for what you see below)...and now realized we have missed our career and "money making" calling in life! Thanks to YouTube, we now know how to do this on our own! The wraps were much easier than I thought. However, it did take some time, but I love to save money!

This year, the coveted gift items were anything with Justin Bieber's name on it...

Yes, she is now officially has Bieber Fever!!! Here she is with her "Never Say Never" movie (which had already seen twice in theaters) - the story of His Life! Wow, to be 17 and already have a story of your life (good movie actually...at least I enjoyed it).

And yep...more Bieber Mania going on below! Here she is with her gifts from Nana and Pops...2 Justin Bieber CD's! Guess what music we are going to be hearing over the next several days on repeat...thank goodness that one is an accoustic version and I am actually looking forward to listening to it.

Man oh man I LOVE THAT GIRL! She is a sweet and special gift to our family!

Happy Birthday Punkin!!!
