My niece, Annika Leigh!
I can hardly believe how fast the time went! Some of you may remember how excited I was on the day she was born because that is the day I became an Auntie. My SIL Michelle also details an account of Annika's birth on her blog today.
Every year I have made a collage for Annika, celebrating the past year of her life. First year, second year, and now her third year......
Brian and Michelle had a party for Annika at their house yesterday and the girls had a great time and enjoyed their new gifts. (It is Bianca's half-birthday today, they are exactly 18 months apart)
Annika and her daddy
The girls both got baby dolls, which they loved so much!
Bianca is totally in love with her new Elmo
Me with Bennett
Oh, he makes the cutest smiles!
A huge thanks goes out to my dad for letting me borrow his awesome camera! Its been killing me not to have my own for all the random Kodak Moments.
What a wonderful day, it will always be one of my favorite days. She is such a sweet girl, I love her more each day. That collage is great, I will need one!

Did another blogger photograph these girls? I swear I've seen them before, wearing these same adorable dresses!
