Ande's 3!!!!!

Yesterday was Ande's Birthday.  Ande was so excited for her birthday.  When she woke in the morning, one of the first things that she said was that she was ready for her party.  Sarah said that we could not have it yet because dad was working, she said we should just have it anyways.  We had planned to do cake, presents and then play at an indoor park in Edina.  However, upon arrival and brining in Sarah's wonderful ladybug cake, we were told that we could not eat the cake nor could we open presents unless we signed up for the birthday club ($100+), so we just ate pizza and played.  Afterwards, we returned home, ate cake and opened presents.  It was a lot of fun!

Things we love about Ande...She has grown quite a bit in the last year.  She has become quite a talker (sometimes just talking too much), she is very independent and loves to do things for her mom to help around the house.  She always talks about herself in third person (Ande want to do that...) and can't quite spit out the "d" in Ande, so it sounds like Annie.  She is tough, sticks up to her brothers (could probably take Eli in a wrestling match) and wants to be just like them and do what they are doing.  She loves to cook with her mom and loves to wear what she calls her Sarah Hunt apron, an apron actually made by Sarah Childs.  She is not to be called Ande Rebecca, but insists that if you call her anything its either Ande or Becka-boo (thanks Landon!).  We love her to death and can't wait for the next year of her life.
