As you can gather from the interview, Annie is full of life and love.   She is having her party tomorrow with 25 friends, eating waffles with buttermilk syrup, and playing "win or or lose it" games.  It shouldn't surprise you that Annie has 25 friends of all ages that she wanted to invite!

We love you, Annie, and wish we could be there to give you a big hug, but this picture will have to do.  Happy Birthday!
