Annika turns 3!

Annika turned 3 on Tuesday December 14th! To Celebrate she got to have 3 different parties. She definitely got spoiled.



The first party was on December 5th. All of the Jarrett family came down to go to the Christmas Devotional so we had a party before! Here are some pictures. My parents gave her a tea party set, and we have sat down and enjoyed some tea every day since.



The second party was on December 12th. We went up and enjoyed dinner with the LeBarons. Annika and her aunt Heidi have Birthdays a day apart so we had a joint party for them. Brian's mom made her an adorable backpack, and Aunt Heidi and Uncle Eric gave her a pack of all the Disney Princess Barbies.



On her actual Birthday we hung out at home. Then later in the afternoon, we got a hold of some of the neighbor kids, and went to a place in Lehi called Monkey Island. It is a big room filled with inflatable slides and bouncy houses. They all got to run around and get out some energy. Brian stopped on his way home and got to watch for a while. On the way home we picked up dinner. For dinner Annika picked out Sausage pizza and broccoli. So that is what we had. We came home and while dinner was baking we opened presents. She got a train set, and never really sat down for dinner. She just kind of wandered back and forth between the kitchen and the living room. Eating a bite of pizza then going back in to drive her train. The night before her birthday we took her to the store and let her pick out the kind of cake pan for the cake she wanted. I thought I had talked her into Tinkerbell but when we got there she just wanted a monkey. So after dinner, we had monkey cake and chocolate ice cream.


I hope she had a great birthday!




Things about our Annika:
-She is such a sweet little girl. The other day we were waiting somewhere, and she leaned over and kissed by arm. Didn't say anything just kissed me. Brian gets little kisses like this all of the time.
-She is such a good big sister. She is always so willing to get me a diaper or toys for Ady. If she hears Ady crying she will say "Oh no she needs a toy" and jump down and get her one. Or "Mom I think that she is hungry." On Saturday morning Ady woke up, then you hear Annika run over to her crib and start talking to her. Then Annika comes running into our room and says in a normal voice... "Dad I need to tell you a secret.... Ady's awake." What a funny girl!
-She makes us laugh all the time.
-She is so smart!
-She is such a great part of our family.

I took Annika in for her 3 year check up and just for my records here are her stats:
-She weighs 35 lbs (89%)
-She is 38.25 inches tall (83%)
