Miss Annabelle is 8! She loves computers, gum, swimming, movies, Full House, all things sweet, gymnastics, dancing, clothes, shoes, accessories, make up and music. She is full of sass and has a contagious laugh. She has a wicked sense of humor and takes nothin’ from nobody. She is smart, strong, brave, and beautiful. I’m so grateful to be her mom. Her future is sure to be bright….and glittery and perfectly pink.
Happy birthday 8 year old!
Naturally, she picked out all her own decorations. The more the better.
She requested lunch at Gunther Toody’s…simply so she could have a cherry coke.
Ready to do the birthday twist. I should point out that she didn’t really want them to sing to her nor does she like the food. She just wanted a cherry coke. Such sacrifices for the things we love.
The entire party theme revolved around this cake.
Not only was it super cute, it was lemon and raspberry filled which are Annabelle’s favorites.
Annabelle was joined by 13 friends for a pool party and sleepover. Let me tell ya the key to a success sleepover — 2 1/2 hours of swimming!
Ella joined in on the fun too. Annabelle really likes Ella, but something tells me she may have been trying to keep her little sister distracted during her party…well, played Annabelle, well played. 

Annabelle and Olivia choreographed a synchronized swimming show for us.
The beautiful birthday babe!

Time for bed!
They were out by 10:30. Remember, lots of swimming!
