And look at her now!! All grown up, and what a cutie :)
Aniela turned nine years old. And I was there for the celebration.
I met Amanda and Greyson in Chicago and flew to Washington with them. They had just finished up three weeks in Wisconsin taking care of Amanda's Gramma. Greyson was a sleepy boy on the plane, battling a head cold. But once home, he managed to rally for the party.
It was a busy couple of days that included a trip to the American Girl Store, where Ani got a new doll, some doll clothes and a doll bed.

Sunday's birthday celebration included dancing, crafts, a piƱata, and birthday cake.

Here are some more pix from the trip. Thanks to Matt and Amanda for a great time.
