Anneka's 2-Year-Old-Birthday Party



Here is Anneka after chowing down on her butterfly-shaped birthday pancakes with blueberries and strawberries. Mmmmm!



I made a butterfly cake for a little party we had later in the day.




Anneka loves money, and Inka knew this, so she got Anneka a "Moo Coo" bank for her birthday. (moo-coo is the kids' word for cow in German). Inka also gave her a ton of change to put into her moo-coo. She was in heaven.




One of Anneka's favorite new games is to twirl like a ballerina around the living room. She especially likes it if someone (here, it's Matthew) lifts her up high in the air while she twirls!



The Wickers got Anneka a couple of books that have been favorites of their family. Here, Sharon is reading Anneka "Harold and the Purple Crayon".




She felt so special when the cake came out and did a good job at blowing at the candles!



Here's a group picture from Anneka's little party. Anneka was surrounded by fun, love, and laughter.
