Babes in Floridaland

We went to Florida to spend Christmas with Nanny and Poppy. Anna had a great time and played hard. Here are a few things that kept her occupied:


As Nanny sings, Anna dances...



Santa brought Anna lots of presents. Here are a few of her favorites:



Anna ate yogurt for Christmas dinner. We tried to get her to taste everything else (which was excellent), but no luck!



Here's Anna modeling her new clothes from Nanny and Poppy, and her new hairstyle. She wouldn't let me put a bow in, though.

Napoleon D'anna'mite

Anna got some "moon boots" from Santa, so she tried them out by imitating Napoleon's dance sequence on TV.



She also likes chapstick and tots.

Tiny Dancer

We've been listening to the Nutcracker lately, and Anna's been dancing! She's even gotten daddy to dance with her!


The red boots are a nice touch, don't you agree?

Bananasicles anyone?

School was called off as soon as Shaun arrived there, so when he got home, we went outside and tried to play. Unfortunately, Anna wouldn't even touch the snow!!
She cried when we put her down in it...


And was in a funk for a while.
Finally we went back inside. Anna's been sick with ear and sinus infections, and now, bronchiolitis. So it's not like we were outside for long!
Fritz, however, LOVED the snow. As he bounds, you can see how deep it was!

SNOW!!!

We woke up to a winter wonderland this morning!

Turkeys are thankful for...

Quick temper tantrums...



Pretty hand-me-down dresses



Dingo the doggie...



Being small enough to fit between the refrigerator and the wall...


Bananas...

And having cheeks large enough to pouch an ENTIRE banana!!


Happy Thanksgiving! We hope your holiday was as wonderful as ours. We all did the Turkey Day Race, then ate possibly the most fantastic turkey dinner ever!
Anna ate peas.

Raggedy Anna

For Halloween, Anna was Raggedy Ann (or Hannah- ITB). I saw this costume at a garage sale and couldn't pass it up!!
We went next door (Carole and OJ's) first. Anna wasn't too sure about trick-or-treating, but a taste of the chocolate changed her mind in record time!

MORE???

OK, here's the part where Anna tries to take the ENTIRE bowl, which ended up being not such a bad idea. We ran into friends wearing the "Scream" mask. I've never seen Anna so scared. Needless to say, trick-or-treating was over.

But, of course, chocolate and animal crackers always scare the bad guys away. Hopefully Anna will not recall this remedy when she decides that there are monsters in her closet.

As my dad would say, "it's never too early for the buddy indoctrination..."
Sailor hat + Hannah outfit = future DG??
