Princess Annisia!!

One fine morning, Annisia dressed up in one of her princess dresses. I find various dresses at MOPS (Mothers of PreSchoolers) swaps, Goodwill, & second hand stores. She loves them. Anyways, she had her very cool sunglasses on so she could view the world through rose-colored lenses. That's my ever optimistic daughter!!!

Watch the video...she's quite a little princess. She knows how to twirl, curtsy (not sure where she learned that!), bow, wave, and blow a kiss. Who needs blue blood? She's royal enough, isn't she?!

A lovely sunrise a few days later...

Christmas pics

We had a good Christmas. A big feast at Michael's parents. Then we did our gift exchange. We draw names with his family. Uncle Mike had Jonathan. They asked for ideas, and I told them I had been eyeing some Thomas the Train sets on Ebay. So I kept looking for what we thought would be great, and ended up bidding and winning a really neat set with a bunch of trains and a really cool sawmill that "saws" a log apart (magnetic connection) then you can use a crane to move the log pieces to a railroad car. He was way into that! Annisia got a Cinderella princess dress, tiara, sucker ring, candy bracelets, and a Cinderella phone from cousin Mandi. In a word, CUTE! Unfortunately, our camera burped during all of this. I think the video I was taking overrode the rest of the pics or something. Anyways, I am waiting for pics from Uncle Bret. I'll post what I have and add the rest later.

You can see some of Jonathan's Thomas the train set here. The track is really nice and it sets up into a pretty complex grouping. I don't know who has the most fun with it, the kids or the 'rents!
