Annie is 13 years old! I'v never seen someone enjoy their birthday more than Annie. Leigh, Sebastian and I were home all morning decorating the dining room with streamers and making her a cake (that is Leigh's special creation!). Leigh put on music videos from Youtube, and Annie danced ALL MORNING LONG. Italian "Happy Birthday" anthems, German pop songs like "Eins, Swei, Polizei" (!?!?!?) and the staples like Footloose and Uptown Funk. There was substantial dancing by the whole family and Annie never even sat down!
From start to finish all day, Annie was delightful, grateful, thoughtful, and thanked us a hundred times for making her birthday so special. I've really never met anyone quite like Annie. She has the most robust sense of delight, the fiercest commitment to happiness, while being humble and keenly aware of those around her. I love that girl and hope she never changes! Don't lose that magical personality, Anne Therese!
