Ana is 18!

 This poor girl spent her birthday all by herself at home. The rest of us went up to Island Park for opening weekend at Henry's Lake, but she had to stay in town so the Bonnevaires could make a recording. Regardless, we did celebrate her birthday. First, we gave her a present the day before her birthday.

A new pair of glasses with heart-shaped lenses.

Then Hudson baked her a birthday cake and brought it up to Island Park to share on Monday, May 26.

Ana blowing out a gigantic candle (and wearing her new glasses) after we sang "Happy Birthday."

Ana invited a bunch of friends over for a birthday "hang" on Thursday, May 29.

The Beatles cupcakes Andrea made for Ana and her friends.

Then we hosted a family birthday dinner on Sunday, June 1.

And a laptop from us. Seth bought it from D.I., then we discovered that it wouldn't start up unless it was plugged in. So we ended up buying a new battery and installing it.

The chocolate raspberry cake Ana requested.

For her parent dinner this year, Ana chose to introduce Seth and me to the Mongolian Grill. Ana had been there before as part of a formal dance date, but Seth and I had never gone.
