My sister is 34 today! I got this recording of her daughter, Sonna, singing the birthday song. And actually, I just caught the tail end. The song had been going on for quite some time!
We decided to throw a birthday party while I was out there, so I asked Mara (4 1/2) what we should get her mom. She was quick with her answer, "Gum!" So I took just her to Walgreens to pick out the perfect gum. She commented, "Mom likes minty, but I don't, so we should get this kind!" and held up a Bubbalicious four pack. And so that's what we got.
We had a tea party for lunch to celebrate her birthday and used cookie cutters to cut all of our food into fun shapes. We drank tea that Mara had picked out because it was called "Orange Tea" and the girls were terribly disappointed that it was not actually all that orange in color.
So Happy Birthday Annika, the best big sister a little sister could ever hope for. I am so glad Mara and Sonna have a sister!!! That's the best gift of all!
