Ultrasound
Well today we got to go in for our 20 week ultrasound. Everything looked great! It was so fun to see the baby again. The baby wasn't very cooperative for some of the things that they needed to look at but she gave us a great view to find out she is a girl! We are really excited and I think that it will be fun for Annika to have a sister!

Our Christmas
Christmas was wonderful!
On the 23rd we drove up to Hyde Park. We spent the night with my family and tried to go see Santa. On Christmas Eve, we woke up and we got a phone call from Alli or should I say Sister Jarrett. It was great talking to her. She sounds like she is doing so good. After Alli's phone call we had a couple errands to run, and then we met up with the family and got to see Santa. Annika was so excited to see him, and then the little girl in front of us in line decided to cry. So Annika thought that is what you do. She wouldn't even look at him. So we got a great family picture with Santa.
After Santa we went home and opened our gifts to each other. After opening a lot of presents we headed over to Grandma and Grandpa Jarrett's house in Brigham City. All of my cousins and their kids were there. It is amazing how many of us there are. We ate some great food, and then everyone headed downstairs. We had the usual talent show. Annika even sang her ABC's for everyone. Then the Great-grand kids put on a great nativity. Annika was a little angel, it was so cute. After the nativity came the presents. It was a wonderful night, and it is always good to see the family.
Annika got a cute new pair of Christmas pajamas from my parents, so we put them on before the drive home. We didn't get home until about 11. I think that I am thankful we only have one kid. Anymore and it would have been a really long night!
On Christmas morning, Annika woke up early and acted like she didn't feel good. I was really worried because I didn't want her to be sick on Christmas. She asked for some cereal so I was bringing her down the stairs and then she saw all of her presents. She was just fine after that. She was so happy and just wanted to open her presents. It was a lot of fun, and we didn't have anywhere to be until 12 so we let her play with her toys as she opened them.
It was fun to see her get so excited to open another one. She kept picking up the presents and saying "this one for me mom?". We finally finished opening presents, and we ate some warm sticky buns. We sat around and played with our new toys for a while.
Then we headed up to Brian's parents house. We got to call Eric in Chili at noon. I think it is so funny to talk to him. He will be talking to you and in the middle of the sentence slips in a como. It sounds like he is doing great and it was fun to talk to him for a minute. After the phone call we opened some more presents and then just hung out. Brian got a new wii game so we all played some wii. Then we enjoyed a wonderful dinner. Later played some games.
It was wonderful to see so much of our family. I have to say that after all of the fun, I was just exhausted. I think I need a couple days of just sleep to recoup.
It was such a wonderful Christmas!

My Baby is 2
I can not believe that Annika is already 2! I decided this year that kids celebrate birthdays so that their mom can remember the day that they were born all day long.
Annika had a great Birthday. (Well I hope she did)
On Sunday we celebrated with the LeBaron's we had Gavin's yearly Swedish dinner followed by presents and cake for Annika. She was spoiled and got lots of new toys.
On Monday my parents and Austin came down and we had dinner, and opened presents and had more cake. I made her an Elmo cake and she got an Elmo balloon. Again she got spoiled and got even more presents.
She is so funny, My mom gave her an outfit, and she opened up the box saw it was clothes and pushed the box away and said I want toys! We had to laugh at that. She was just being honest.
She has been playing with all of her toys today and I think she has told me at least once that each one is her favorite.
My mom also gave us an early Christmas present it was a nativity that Annika can play with. It is so cute and she loves the baby Jesus. Today we were laying down for a nap and she brought baby Jesus with her and she laid down and said "I am going to take a nap ok" to baby Jesus and then held him in her hand and took her nap. It was so sweet!
We went to Annika's 2 yr check up today and she did great!
she weighs 26 lbs. which is the 48%
and she is 34.25 inches tall which is the 72%
The dr. said she is skinny and tall. Maybe she will play Volleyball when she gets older.
Annika is so much fun.
Here are some of the things she can do..
~ She is constantly singing.
She loves to sing Twinkle Twinkle little star
Her ABC's
Head, Shoulders, knees and toes
The Itsy Bitsy Spider
And anything she can make up to twinkle twinkle little star tune.
~ She loves to spin in the Living room with Brian
~ She loves to play catch
~ She loves to watch Elmo and My friends tigger and poo
~ She loves Animals
~ She loves to play with her baby and push it in her stroller.
~ She says really good prayers
~ She knows lots of colors
~ She loves to count things
I could probably go on and on,
But she is so much fun, and I am so glad that she is my daughter!
I love her and and I love it when she tell me or Brian she loves us too!
