This year’s birthday was everything.
I had a great Monday in first grade.
I came home to balloons all around the apartment and streamers as decorations, too.
There were dinner party people with hats and cheer and smiles.
There was taco soup and root beer and raspberry chocolate angel food cake.
There was the best present ever.
And some pretty cute new outfits for school!
There was thankfulness for everything.
So, thanks! Thanks for the wishes and thanks for the love!
This weekend I’ll continue this celebration called life by heading on down to the one and only New York City. You’ve probably figured out I kinda like that place by now, huh? I can’t wait to spend a little time there in all it’s fall glory. Zan and I are staying in a hotel that overlooks Manhattan, and there’ll just be a lot of skittering around the city like I do. I was hoping to cross this off my bucket list (I got a gift certificate!), but the classes are pretty much all filled at this point, so it might have to be saved for another time. I always want to see and do everything, and there’s never enough time in one trip, so others will be planned in the near future. New York is one of my favorite cities to visit and I have no desire to stop any time soon. I’m never too stressed about not getting everything in because there’s always next time!
As far as this trip goes, I’m excited to have Zan with me this time around, and my sister is going to be there, too. The weather is going to be beautiful, which is great because that’s how I like to roll. YAY for fall weekends in awesome places.
Have a good one!
I love this! Looks like such an awesome birthday. Who decorated for you? If it was Zan – I’m so impressed.
He did!! He spent 45 minutes before he left for work putting streamers up all around the living and dining room. And the balloons! He wanted it to be decorated when I got home from work. I LOVED IT!
How wonderfully cool and sweet – and have a great weekend in NYC!
Oh my gosh that pic of you is so adorable! What a wonderful birthday you had. Love it all!
Have fun in NYC this weekend!
Did Zan decorate your house for you?? That picture of all the balloons at your feet just makes me SO happy :) Have a blast in NYC this weekend! Sounds like the best way to bring in Fall. I’ve still never been to NYC! Thomas has been a million times, and we’re getting excited about taking a trip together. Living in VA means it’s a bit of a trip…and with the impending move, it’s soon only going to be a longer trip. I’m thinking of surprising him with a trip soon, if I can get all the details pulled together. I’d love to know where you’re staying/have stayed/won’t ever stay again :) xoxo! eliza
Yes! He decorated it all! What a guy, right?
And you NEED to take a trip to NYC sometime soon. That place is filled with all sorts of magic.
I am so bummed we’re missing you this weekend…but I guess there’s always next time! I adore that picture of you with your cake – have a great time celebrating this weekend!
Totally sad about it, but next time we’ll just have to make it double the fun. :)
TRAPEZE SCHOOL?!?!?! woot! woot!
best present ever.
love that you loved your birthday.

Your birthday just sounds like it was amazing! Love the balloons and the yellow and the polka dots! I hope you had fun in NYC this weekend!

Hi Anna, My sister’s bf is friends with Tom and she sent me the link to your blog. Super cute. My daughter’s birthday was the 21st too! She turned 3! Happy Bday!
