The first time I went to Ben’s house and met his whole family was for this girl’s first birthday. And now she’s 8! Anna is my fun, loving, spunky, nose always in a book niece 🙂 Even though we weren’t able to make it to Anna’s birthday party we did get to visit for some traditional birthday pictures and her birthday dinner at Applebee’s.

Anna cut a couple of her mom’s flowers for her pictures. (Sorry Liz!)

She’s a cutie 🙂

Outfit change!

Isn’t she just beautiful with her strawberry-blonde hair?

When kids start to get bored of pictures tell them to spin around…. they get to have fun and you get some sweet action shots!

Oh how I love a black and white!

The trees and bushes were in full bloom and we took advantage of it!

Love that smile!

Let’s end on a funny one since this is the real Anna I know 🙂
