Annika's 3rd Birthday

If you'd ask Annika what the best thing about her birthday was...she'd say having Wellington (Sean and Kellye's dog) there! She got more birthday kisses from him than you could ever imagine. She enjoyed every bit on the slime all over her face. Not to mention...she stuck her finger in the icing, gave the dog a lick and then licked after him!!! You know she doesn't get this love of dogs from me!



Annika celebrated her birthday with Grandma and Grandpa Hatch, Sean and Kellye, and Tyler! Thank you Kellye for the adorable cake. Annika loved it so much she carried it in her lap all the way to Hearne! Thank you Grandma for the birthday crown and the hot dogs!



While we were there, she asked Grandpa if he would marry her! Thanks Grandpa for being a good role model for the kind of guy she wants to marry!
