Here Annika is making snow. It is really fun. You put a tiny bit of magic snow powder in a bowl and a little water and it fills up the bowl. It is cool, but mostly I just love this picture. I CANNOT believe this little girl is turning 5. It hit me one day and I haven't been the same since. I am not sure why 5 is so hard for me, but it is. Terribly hard.
Ok, back to Christmas happiness. Here the girls (and Travis) are waiting to go open presents at my mom's. They had a great time and got lots of fun things. They are very blessed. Do you see the green animal Annika is holding. It is a cat called Mistletoe Kitten. It is a GREAT book. I highly recommend it to add to your Christmas book collection. It is about a little cat that isn't wanted and has no family. I still can't make it through it without crying- because, of course, I am thinking of little orphans all over the world with no family to care for them. But it very sweet and heart warming.
How do I pick from over 600 pictures- especially since Picasa will only add 3 pics at a time to blogger. I am randomly choosing. Can you tell by the next one? When Olivia was a baby my mom got me some house shoes from the Gap. They were great. Olivia was not great. She did not sleep (much). So at night when I was begging God to make her go to sleep, I would walk her around until she finally gave in for a short while. I always turned on my right foot and totally wore out the sole of the right shoe. Since then, I've gotten new house shoes every Christmas. I love them and since we are home most days, I wear them out quickly. This year mom gave me a pair a little early. I didn't know why since they are an annual Christmas gift. But I found out! She got me 2 pair this year! Now in Aug. when the bottom has worn off and I am finding bits of foam around the house, I can ditch them and switch pairs! {i still have the ones I wore out when Olivia was a baby and my pregnancy test from Annika. That's kind of weird.}
