Nixie's First Party of the Year

Grandpa Owen has been joking with Annika that her 13th birthday is going to last all year, and he's not far from the mark.  We were on Long Island on April 1st-- her birthday itself-- where Grandma and Grandpa threw her her first (of many to come) parties.  Since she wanted a soccer party for her big 13th extravaganza, we're postponing that until July, when our lawn will hopefully be less soggy.  But for now, her first party with a pirate box present...full of presents!

And ice cream cake!  Just look at that grin.  Grandparents know how to do things right!
