Happy Valentines Day

Valentines day was a very busy day for Annie. We started with a party at her friend Lily's house. We were the first to arrive, and Annie and Lily got right down to the business of playing while the grown-ups chatted over some mimosas. In all, 8 kids were at the party, most of them Anastasia's age, which was fun to see.

Nancy, Lily's Mommy, had also set up a great craft project for the kids to do. Anastasia was pretty excited to get to play with stickers and googly-eyes.



After crafts, cupcakes, and lots of playing, it was time for a nap for both Mommy and Annie.

Next on the agenda for the day was high tea with Anastasia's favorite babysitters (and Mommy's good friends) Abby, Ann, and Nathalie.



This was Annie's first tea, and I'll admit, I was a little nervous about how she would behave. In the end, there was nothing for me to be worried about. She enjoyed her chocolate milk and a few of Mommy's cookies while the rest of us enjoyed finger sandwiches, tea and a glass of champagne.



It was a very nice afternoon. We rode the Metro home, which Annie thought was great fun, to a lovely dinner put together by Myney.



A fun end to a very busy day. Next up, the National Building Museum.
