It's My Party And I'll Cry If I Want To!

The mood of Anelyse almost the entire party. What a party pooper!

Anelyse eating Pizza......

Everyone else eating Pizza........

Even Helam seamed to be enjoying the party........

But not Anelyse.

The Pinata lightened the mood quite a bit but even that took a lot of convincing from mom.

Kimiko and Anelyse eating B-day cupcakes.

I think she only ate the frosting and gave the rest to me. It works out really well for both of us because we each get the part we like the best. YUM!

After opening presents. I could not wait to take them all home! I am hoping she won't want to do that for a long time, and I will do my best to talk/ bribe her out of it.

After all the kids went home we opened more presents from mom/dad, Nana, and Baba.

"Oh Cool! My own tool purse, just what I always wanted!

She has put the tools to good use helping dad on various projects, and mom has had to borrow them on occasion.

Baba got Anelyse a wonderful wagon to pull behind her tricycle, unfortunately my camera died and the trike broke the next day. Since I am not that good at welding I tried to get uncle Carson to fix it. After waiting several weeks I gave up and did it myself. It took several attempts and the end result was a really ugly weld, but so far so good. So, consequently these pics were taken later (I think earlier in Sept.) as she was carting our harvest from the garden to the house.

What a good gardener Anelyse is. Potatoes, Carrots, Corn, Squash, etc...

What do you think he is thinking? I hope this isn't a sign of things to come.
It is hard to see with the pic this small but he has a VERY MISCHIEVOUS look on his face.
