Its a party!!!

At 9:00 am I turned in my last assignment for college. This afternoon we had a party for me and for Ana's birthday.

Ana loved her birthday cupcake - of course, pink frosting!
She got a doll from me and Dave and a new outfit. From Grandma she got a new onesie and one of those popper toys (you push the button and an animal pops up.) She loves to give her dolly "loves." I'm excited for her to wear her new outfit - she has a little pink sweat-skirt. Its fun!


After the party, I graduated magna cum laude (top 5% in my class)! The speaker was a member of the Presidency of the Seventy and it was really good. I got to sing in the choir, which was really fun because I always regretted not being in a choir in college.
After commencement, Ana was crawling up the stairs, but she paused enough to look at the camera!
Its really exciting to be done with school. Thanks Dave and Mom and Dad for all your love and support as I finished this up. Its always been a big goal of mine and I'm so grateful to you and to Heavenly Father for letting this happen. One of the big things I've learned is that when you trying to do what the Lord wants you to do, everything works out. Thanks!!!

Ana's hair is so light. She doesn't look like the mexican she did when she was born. Congrats on the graduation!

CONGRATS! Erin, that is amazing! Well done! And on top of that...magna cum laude....wow. Well done kid! Looking at pictures of Ana i see a perfect split between you and Dave in her. Oh, she is beautiful.

Congratulations Erin! what an accomplishment.

Dylan walked through the room & said, "baby Ana is getting big". I wonder if we'll always call her "baby Ana".

She really looks like a little girl now instead of a baby. How fun to celebrate a birthday-graduation! It's a wonderful feeling to get a degree and have your family right there with you. Congrats Erin! (It's Janae, btw)
