Banana's 4th Birthday Party!

We had Ana's birthday party today! We will be in the states on her actual birthday (13th) so we wanted to have a small party with Ana's friends here before we left. We had it at the bowling alley (Ana's new favorite thing to do!) and it was monkey themed being that she IS a monkey in disguise! Like any good 4 yr old birthday party, it was completely chaotic and a blast! :) This was Ana's cake! She loved it. Marc and I made it. He made the monkeys and I did the rest! We were pretty excited how it turned out!

Our monkey had a great day...banana's and all!

This is her picking her ball! Determined little girl! "I can do it".

This is our troop of monkeys!

Too bad there isn't a bowling league for little ones!

She always turns around and claps when she pushes the ball down the ramp!

She got so excited when everyone was singing "Happy Birthday". It's really neat how she "gets it" now and how exited she got to blow out her candle.

SO happy to get a special gift from her friend Faith.

She FINALLY figured out how to do the "blow thing"! I don't know how many parties she has been to that she has tried and tried to get it...but TODAY she got it with Olivia's help!

After the party we came home and her "big gift" was in her room waiting for her. This was her first reaction when she saw her vanity. Sweet little girl!

She went straight to the makeup! We did nails, and glitter on our arms, and she put eyeshadow on her cheek...it's close enough! :)

This is one of her favorite gifts from her cousins! Every time the lamb talked she would pretend to feed him! It was pretty sweet.

(see the eyeshadow on her cheek?)

Happy 4th Birthday Anastasia!
