Family night

When I was growing up, every year my mom would make sugar cookies, and my family would sit around and decorate them. I always remember it being fun. It was always fun to see what different ways everyone would decorate their cookies. So this year, I decided to make sugar cookies. It was a lot of fun. I tried to get Annika to decorate, but she was a lot better at undecorating them. It was fun to watch though.

Annika has started folding her arms. Whenever we sit down at the table she folds her arms. It is really cute. When we are saying the prayer she thinks that we are playing a big game of peak a boo. She just looks around at everyone (while our eyes are closed) and laughs. Then when we say Amen, she just smiles. It is a fun game. I am just glad that she knows that is what we do when we sit down at the table.

Annika loves wearing her necklaces, and has them on pretty much from the time she wakes up until she goes to bed everynight. In one of the pictures above you will see a rather interesting necklace. If you look closely you will notice it is a spiral plastic cord, with aligator clips at each end. (Normally used by a dentist to hold on your spit rag!) :) Thanks to Aunt Heidi, Annika has been sporting this beauty around all week. Anything that will go around her neck! Thanks Heidi she loves it!

Happy Valentines Day everyone!
