Annna Banana turned 11!




We celebrated Anna's 11th birthday, a day early, at her favorite place to eat in New York, Portofino. Yup that is right. You can eat at Portofino in Levittown and Anna just loves the lasagna.

Anna ate cake and opened pressies with her family including her Uncle Jack and cousin Julia. If you ask Anna, her favorite present was her new Nintendo DS lite. She hasn't put it down much since she opened it.

The next day, which was her actual birthday, we left for the Bahamas. Early wake up and quicker than expected arrival to Laguadia airport, which Sarah so correctly pointed out is an Italian name so I had to tell what little I remembered about Fiorello Laguadia the late former Governor of New York (See, in my life, Italians are everywhere), we were sitting in the terminal sipping coffee and eating Dunkin Dounuts. Earliest any of us especially Sam, has been to the airport to catch a plane. After boarding, a couple hours later, we were in Nassau ready to hop on Peter's plane and be whisked to his island. I know, I am a lucky woman.

As you can see by the photo, Anna's special treat on her birthday was to sit in the cockpit of Peter's plane for the entire 30 minute flight to the Exumas!
