You're Fired!

I was getting Anika ready for bed while Mary was down stairs. Anika wanted to read books in mom and dad's bed, I told her we could read one book, since it was so late. She yells down stairs to Mary:
Anika: Mom come up and read a book.
Mary: Ok, I am coming

About a minute passes and Mary hasn't come upstairs yet.

Anika: Mom come up and read a book or you're fired!

Christmas photos

Anika had so much fun this Christmas, she loved the tree and opening presents. But mostly she loved watching Rudolph. We DVR'd it and Mary's parents had it on DVD. She still asks to watch it now.

Here are a few photos from the season

"I AM SO EXCITED ABOUT PRESENTS!"

This was the closest we could get to her looking at the camera.

She loved playing with her cousins

Trying to catch up...

It's been over two months since the last post, so here are some photos of Anika over the holidays.

She likes to become Dr. Anika. However she only treats babies which requires whoever her patient is(usually Mary or Me) to say "whaaa" like a baby.

We spent one day sliding out at Tom and Sue's. Anika was pretty excited to go out with mom and dad.

I would love sliding more if someone carried me up the hill every time.
She loves sliding until the snow kicks up and gets in her face.
