Annika's Bedtime

Annika does not like going to bed.  =)  It has always been a struggle to get her to bed on time.  She just loves to stay up late.  Well, tonight we had gone to a friend's house for a get-together and Annika had so much fun playing there, she must have worn herself out.  After getting home, getting her bathed and ready for bed, she walked into her room, climbed into bed and put her blanket over her.  We couldn't believe it!!  We usually have to tell her to get into bed, and then I lay in bed with her for 10 minutes or so and sing her primary songs until she goes to sleep.  But tonight was definitely a first!  She must have been so tired to just climb in bed all by herself.  Hopefully this is a start to a new pattern.  =)

Our 11 Year Anniversary!!

Wednesday, Oct 15 was our 11 year wedding anniversary!  It seems like just yesterday we got married, yet it also seems so much longer than 11 years because I cannot imagine life before I met Steve.  He sent me the most beautiful flowers ever!!   2 dozen roses!!   We also went to a wonderful french restaurant in East Salt Lake called Franck's.  I did not know food could have such great flavor!  Everything we tried was wonderful!  The atmosphere was so romantic.  It was a perfect anniversary date!  I felt like such a princess!  Steve is so wonderful and I'm so glad I found such a wonderful man to be with for time and all eternity!

Helping Unload the Dishes

Annika loves to help me unload the dishwasher.  (We have had a few broken dishes, not a big deal though).  =)  Today, she was saying "I help" and putting the dishes on the counter.  It was so cute!!  I love that she wants to help me with the dishes.  

Annika's Winter Hat & Gloves

We just recently bought Annika a winter hat and mittens for when the snow comes, and she couldn't wait to wear them.  She wore them all around the house last night while dancing, jumping and being extremely hyper!  It is amazing the little things that get her excited.  =)  She also loves to do head-stands that she learned in gymnastics.  

2-Year-Old Pictures

Annika just had her 2-year-old pictures done.  She is quite the little model.  =)
