Sometimes you just need to snuggle

naptime with Mr. Bear

And... done

Or done except for a few details, I should say.

I don't normally post house stuff, but I am SO PROUD of my husband for all the work he put into our beautiful deck.  :) 

And now that he's done on this project, I have a whole list of projects waiting for him to do inside....  :)

Dressing up

 When Annika saw this costume we borrowed, she gasped.

When she found out SHE would be able to wear it, she gasped again.

Princesses are a very cool thing right now.

 And this little chick was so yummy.

And Sunday she was taught "bawk, bawk." So she walked around kind of wiggling her arms saying "baw, baw."

We had a low-key Sunday- we just visited a couple neighbors and then went to visit some friends.

Our dear neighbors thought to take a picture of our family.

the "carnival"

Last month we went to a family day at Andy's work. There were some carnival rides there, so after this day, Daddy works "at the carnival."

Annika loved this ride. Daddy, not so much.

I can't even count how many times they rode the train.

Here with friend Aubrey...

Jumping

They had face painting, and Annika wanted purple hearts.

This girl LOVED the giant slide and was traumatized when I wouldn't climb up with a 25-pound weight anymore.

 Marshmallow time

And lastly, Annika was asked if she wanted another marshmallow or an apple.

Here's her choice.  :)

We finished the night with a hayrack ride and fun glowsticks and glow bracelets. What a blast!

Happy birthday, Daddy!

We went out for Andy's birthday last night.

These girls love salsa. She kept holding out her chip for more dipping.

"Hooray!" Stuffing her face...

Our sweet little monkey. I love this picture.

Don't you love the look on her face?!
Happy birthday today- we are so thankful for you!
