11

We celebrated Annalise’s 11th birthday by honoring her with candles, balloons, presents, and cake. One day I’ll donate all her presents to CHOP, but for now I’m developing quite a Lego Panda collection in her honor.

It was a hard day, but every day is hard. The key is that we thought of her and we smiled. Sure there were tears, but we sang and we laughed and we know she was with us on her big day.

Sebastian wore his rainbow 🌈 colored shirt in her honor too.
