Thank you for sharing her with all of “us!” She is so stunning. Strikingly beautiful really. You and Mike make gorgeous kids! Happy Birthday beautiful Annie! I hope all of your birthday wishes come true!

Oh my, this is just wonderful. Annie is so incredibly beautiful, her eyes … her eyes … stunning! Her intelligence shines through the photos, along with her pure joy and love for life! What a great montage of her first three years!
Also, is that Mike’s original guitar composition? It’s just fabulous!

Oh, be still my heart! Happy 3rd Birthday to one spectacularly beautiful, vivacious and infinitely loved little girl!!
The music in the background is so lovely and just draws you in. I grew up with 2 brothers who played guitar 24/7 and hearing the guitar while looking at those gorgeous pictures of Annable brought back so many wonderful memories of mine own with my brothers and their guitars!

Happy Birthday Annie from your friends Spencer and Scottie in Miami. My 6 yr old thinks he knows Annie from looking at the blog with me and he always remembers Maddie who he says was a preemie like he was but is an angel now.
Happy Happy Birthday Annie!!!!!!!

It’s hard to believe she isn’t already three! She’s the most grown up looking two year old I’ve ever seen. Can’t wait to see her get even older. I remember when she was “binky”. Love to you guys. Happy birthday Annabel!

It’s kind of interesting to see how in some of the pictures she still looks like and a little girl and then in others, she looks strikingly grown up!

I still have Annie’s birth announcement in a large bowl of rose petals in my bedroom. What joy she has brought the world in these 3+ years! (The joy started when you announced that you were expecting Binky!)I Thank you, Heather and Mike, for sharing this sparkling light with us! Cannot imagine my life without the Spohrs!
Big birthday love to Annie!
memphislis says:
OH MY GOD that child gets more gorgeous by the day. Some of those pics made me gasp. What a fun gift for you to open every day. Happy Birthday Annie!
Bridget Go says:
Happy Birthday Annie! Thanks for the smile today
Katrina says:
I love this!! What a neat idea, recapping the year like that in a video/photo music montage. Gosh, I feel like a big mommy fail for not doing this for my kids. Aw well, I can always go back in all our photos and get it done, right? Of course, no one will see me for a while, if I do. I imagine that will take me days to do, maybe months!
Jeanie says:
Happy Birthday, Annie! I’d just like to add Rigby-loving to your description under the video.
Kelly says:
Happiest of happy birthdays to your beautiful girl.

I cannot believe your little cutie pie is 3 already! God bless her and THANK YOU SO MUCH for sharing her with us. That little girl has brought nearly as many smiles to my face as my own daughter has. I just love everything about her. Her smile, her laugh, her HILARIOUS sense of humor. She is pure joy. Happy Birthday Annie!
