The birthday girl goes to prom

Anna, the youngest of our three "bigs", turned 17 on Friday. We celebrated with dinner and cake at home, then she went to the movies with two of her friends. Here she is with her birthday cake, little sister Sarah and good friend Jessica:



It was a big weekend for Anna. On Saturday, she went to the prom with her friend Bobby and several other kids from school. Here they are at our house before the festivities:


It's hard for me to believe that my darling little Anna is 17 years old and going off to the big dance with a date. Seems like hardly any time at all since she was as young as the twins... I know it will be the blink of an eye before they are doing the same thing. Bittersweet, for sure.
