It was bound to happen... Anna has her own Snow White costume, courtesy of Holly, little Tasha's mom. And she sure received a lot of sweet comments during our outing in public. Who needs an excuse to get all decked out, not Anna!

After the recent rains we were greeted by a rainbow, can you see it faintly in the background? And it looks like Anna is warming up to her brother, I like the protective hand contact she's giving him.

Anna turned 4 yesterday, and to celebrate, we went to the "Princess breakfast" at Disneyland. The Disney princesses meet and greet the guests as they dine. Anna loves Snow White right now and she is dressed in her rendition of Snow White, a blue Clifford shirt topping a yellow dress, with pink headband. Snow White was super sweet and put nervous Anna at ease with her kindness.

This is little Sam, born New Year's Day. In this photo we look nothing alike, other than the size of our noses.
