Our Anna is Nineteen

On June 10th our little Anna turned nineteen years old. We celebrated in the same way we always do - simple, sweet, purposeful, and blessing as much as we can. 

This was her 'actual' birthday during the week. I decided to have the homemade birthday cake on the weekend so that the Grandparents could be there, and have a bakery cake during the week. 


I usually start to think about her birthday meal all spring. I want it to be festive, a treat, and something she'll love. I saw this recipe for Monte Cristo Sandwiches and knew it would be perfect for Anna. 


Think of grilled cheese and French toast (sort of) combined... it's amazing and so so so not healthy... perfect for a birthday meal. It is served with a dusting of powdered sugar and the most gourmet raspberry jelly you can find. 




Pictures with our birthday girl. How we are so happy to have her home all summer with us! 











Anna was surprised with a rice cooker and some pretty rice bowls. 







On the weekend  we had a little family party with all of the grandparents.  And it was lovely. And oh so yummy!!!


I made a homemade shortcake birthday cake... melt in your mouth good! s







Happiest birthday little Anna. We adore and love you so so much!
