Annie is 9

Annie is NINE years old now! 



12 things we love about Annie at age 9:

1.  She writes lots and lots of poems.
2.  Annie has a unique way of jumping up as high as she can.  When her class plays Simon Says they often say, "Simon Says, do an Annie Jump!"
3.  She loves her long hair.
4.  She is an awesome reader and loves reading about magical places and characters.  Some of her favorite books are the Secrets of Droon series, The Sisters Grimm series, and The Princess Academy.
5.  Annie decorated her own cake!  I made most of the flowers out of Starburst candies and Stephen drew the pictures of fairies for her, but she put everything on the cake and did a wonderful job!



6.   Annie is getting really good at making chocolate chip cookies.
7.  She takes such good care of Naomi and Ellen at bedtime.  She tells them stories and sings songs.  They love it!
8.  She really likes walking around in the woods and loves to explore.
9.  She is not easily persuaded by what others think she should do.  She knows what she wants to do and is not likely to change her mind.
10.  Annie loves big hugs!
11.   She is really enjoying playing the piano and is doing a great job!


12.  She still has a great imagination and is always using it!

We love you so much, Annie, and are so thankful that Heavenly Father sent you to our family!
