Merry Christmas!!

A lesson learned from a 3 year old in trouble!

UGH! All I wanted to get done while Christopher was at camp was my RS Newsletter! Is that too much to ask!?? Well, it was. While I was at the computer, Anneli was in the bathroom going "you know what". Anyways, I heard the toilet flush twice and then I heard water flowing! I jumped up as she entered the office..."the toilet" she yelled! I raced in and sure enough the toiled was overflowing due to probably a half roll of toilet paper. UGH! I so didn't have time for this! Her "clogging wipe" wasn't very successful , so I cleaned her up and stuck her in the tub as I unclogged the toilet and mopped up the floor and sanitized it. All the while, I was not a happy mommy! Then as I was working and sputtering to myself, my sweet little Anneli started singing, "I am a Child of God, and he has sent me here, has given me an earthly home with parents kind and dear." Awwww!!!! At that moment I was humbled and felt real bad. She was helping me trying to wipe her own little bum so I could get my work done...it wasn't her fault that her trying to help me caused me a ton of work! Oh well, but I now have a sparkling clean bathroom and a finished RS Newsletter! Thanks Anneli!

Painting Party!

Before we left on our annual trip to Lake Wallenpaupack, Anneli and I painted our nails. I only like my toes done, but Anneli had both her hands and nails done. Here are some pictures!

Here's Anneli painting my toes! Oooooo that tickles!

Anneli's masterpiece---my toes! She felt like a big shot and had a super fun time!

Good job Anneli! :)

Anneli's pretty little fingers!

Anneli's pretty little toes. Thanks Christopher for helping her paint them! :)

Our Little Glass Doll

This afternoon, Anneli was asleep on the couch and Christopher was searching for my camera. He said we needed a picture of Anneli, he said she looked like a little glass doll fast asleep on the couch. Here is the picture we took.

What a sweet, loving big brother he is!

My Burger Queen---

Here is a shot Shaun & I came across as we were looking at old pictures on my cell phone. Anneli and I like to eat at Burger King, but Christopher can't eat there because of his allergies. (Shhh, don't tell my cardiologist!) Anneli and I would hit Burger King when Christopher was at Kidzersize for breakfast or when he was at school for lunch. She probably only liked it because she could be a "Princess"!

Sorry, the quality isn't that good, but I thought it was a cute photo.
