Annie turned 3 years old, and Della learned about how birthdays aren’t always her own. My pictures of the event are limited to mostly the ball pit because soon after Della asked to be taken inside so she wouldn’t have to witness the tragedy of so many presents going to somebody not her.
The balls were only one layer deep, but the kids didn’t seem to notice.
Here is Della hanging out in a plastic car, not even having any fun, just trying to gain squatters rights.
I have this feeling that George and Annie are going to have a special thing.
Happy birthday, Annie! Thanks for being such a sweet and powerful girl.

That was a wise decision on Della’s part to move away from conflict. Good that George was there to represent her while she was away.
Thank you for these gorgeous pictures and sweet note to Anne! We had so much fun.
