Happy Birthday, Anjuli!

Anjuli turned 3 on Saturday! We let her do whatever she wanted all day long. She picked out her own outfit, then started out the day with a movie :)

We went to Walmart to see Santa Clause, but he wasn't there...so as we headed back home we got stuck in traffic due to this parade. It actually turned out great. We pulled over to the side and had front row seats. And Anjuli got to see Santa afterall! As he passed by us in the parade Anjuli said, "Where's Santa going, Mommy? Oh, he's going to Walmart!"

After naps we went to Chuck E Cheese. Anjuli and Zion had a great time, but man alive, that place gives me a headache! I think next time we'll convince her to go to the beach or the zoo instead.

This is Zion's idea of playing Skee Ball...

That night was our ward Christmas party. As everyone ate dinner, Anjuli took the opportunity to impress everyone with her beautiful dancing skills on stage. I was really surprised because usually she's shy in front of a big crowd, but not tonight!

She was so cute up there, I just couldn't bring myself to stop her.

At night we opened presents. Her big one from us was a new Melissa & Doug Birthday Cake set.

Sunday we had a family party. Anjuli wanted cupcakes, which worked out really nice. So much less mess than a cake.

Anjuli blew out the candles at least 10 times. I think that was her favorite part of her whole birthday.

Zion kept blowing out the candles before Anjuli could get to it, it was pretty funny :)

Anjuli got a dollar from a few of her Aunty's! Thank you! She loves opening the cards, and has already spent a few of them on french fries and a sundae :)

She got a bathtub paint set from Aunty Becca. Boy, did they have fun!

Happy Birthday Anjuli! We sure love you!!!
