Anna is 9!

We celebrated Anna's 9th birthday while we were in Utah.
First we went to a pottery painting place and painted.  Anna chose a peacock.


Emma chose a kitten to paint.  She painted for about five minutes then goofed around and screamed for the rest of the time.  Can't wait until she outgrows the shrieking thing.  Oh, I hope she outgrows it.

John and Grant both chose an airplane.  It didn't take John too long to paint his either.

Matthew picked a large dragon.  I helped him with some of the painting.
We also went to See's Candies after and got some chocolates.

Later in the day we tie dyed t-shirts.  I'd never done that before but it was fun!

We played some impromptu party games.
Cut the flour.  You try to cut part of the molded flour without making the coin fall.

Cookie face
Get the cookie in your mouth without using hands.


Spider races
Using a straw to blow plastic spiders (leftover from Halloween) across the table


The kids had to figure out something to do with the flour after we were done.
Scott was working this week out of his company's offices in Salt Lake.
So we were glad he could be with us.

For dinner Anna chose El Pollo Loco  She is crazy for their red rice.  I tried to make some for her once at home and it didn't measure up (in my defense I thought it was good).  So she was excited to have the real thing for her birthday.

We had birthday cake



Happy Birthday Anna
9 Years Old!!

Anna chose an ice cream cake.
She opened a few presents and we'll have another celebration once we get home.
