Ten years ago today my life changed forever. Ten years ago today I earned the best title ever....I became a 'Mommy!' Our little Anna surprised us by coming 2-1/2 weeks early, just a tiny 5 lb. 9 oz. little baby. She was born sweet, and gets sweeter every year. I have dreaded her 10th birthday for a while now (that's just too old!), but when I see the wonderful, beautiful young lady she is becoming my heart wants to burst. I can't believe she's mine. I am too lucky! I always tell the kids to stop growing up so fast, but I have to admit that I love my relationship with Anna as she gets older. She is one of my best friends, and so fun to hang out with! I am excited to watch her grow in the next few years, to develop her talents, and to continually influence everyone around her for the better. We love you, Annalyn! Thanks for being ours!

Two days old.
First Christmas! Little did we know how much she would love the snow...or how many snowmen she would be building in the future!
Such a happy girl.
And those pretty blue eyes...
First Easter.
So excited to be a "big sister!"
Anna was the perfect Alice in Wonderland with her cute little "White Rabbit!"
Pretty little girl... (This picture was taken with a dinosaur of a digital camera...hence the 'pixely' look. Still cute though!)

Best Friends
Anna and Baxter (This girl loves animals. Poor thing hasn't been able to talk us into a dog.....yet.)
Seven years old!
Baptism Day
Her first "real" mountain bike...she loves to go out on the trails with Dad.
Our sweet girl now...Happy Birthday, Anna!

Those pics make me want to cry! Time has gone by so fast! She is/was such a perfectly beautiful and sweet little girl. We are all lucky to have Anna in our lives! Love you, Anna. Happy Birthday!!!
What a cute little girl who has turned into such a beautiful little lady! Happy Birthday Anna! The double digits do seem old.:(
Now I'm all emotional before I go to bed! That was really neat to see her grow up in those pictures into such a beautiful young lady. She really is a sweet, innocent, beautiful girl. This post made me feel so happy to have a girl.
I don't know how Anna wasn't snatched up as a child model when she was younger. That Alice in Wonderland costume is darling. She looks just like her!
So sweet! I can remember when she was born - I can't believe that was 10 years ago. Natalie is turning 9 in a few weeks and can't really wrap my mind around it.
I hope Anna had a fantastic b-day!
Happy Birthday Anna!! I cannot believe it has been 10 years since she was born! I remember how excited I was to be an aunt. She has sure turned into a sweet and beautiful girl! What a good example my girls will always have to look up to! We love you Anna!!
Cute! That is funny because Allie was 2 1/2 weeks early and 5 lbs. 10 oz.! I hope she turns out as pretty and sweet as Anna, or any of your kids!
cool!! anna had cute blue eyes!
