The Big 08!

On Friday, June 15th, Anna turned 8. She was so excited to have her special day. We really wanted to have a fun party for her but all of her friends were gone either on furlough for the summer to America or on family vacations around Europe. So we had a family party and will plan a bigger fun day with some good friends in a couple of weeks when they come to visit. Despite the small gathering, Anna still declared this the best birthday that she has ever had. That makes a mother's heart proud not to mention the stess that it saved me!

Anna's prized gift of the day, A Hannah Montanna digital camera from Papa and G'ma Bontrager. SHe also love the two skirts that they gave her.
