Family Pictures

On our way up to Craig's parents for Thanksgiving, we stopped in the Twin Cities and had our friend from college, Sonja, take some family pictures of us. She does amazing work (http://www.photosbyjs.blogspot.com/)! Here's some of the favorites.

Annika's 3rd Birthday

Annika turned 3 years old! We started the day off with Nana and Granddad over for presents and monkeybread. We gave Annika a doll, named Lily, and right away she started the process of changing Lily's clothes over and over and over! We had a princess party for Annika. Annika invited three of her friends over for the morning. It was so much fun to watch a bunch of 2 1/2 to 3 year olds interact with each other!

What princess party can be complete without a princess cake! I'm actually pretty proud of myself for this attempt at cake decorating! Watching the girls play "pin the crown on the princess" was pretty funny. Annika couldn't stand that the crowns weren't all in the right place on Cinderella!
A great 3 year old lunch of pb&j, grapes, and goldfish!
