Easter Eggs

We decided to let Annika dye eggs again this year and she loved it!  I wasn't sure how she would do.  Last year she was not sure what to do, and made a HUGE mess.  You can look at that here.  So we were a little more prepared this year.  She still made a little bit of a mess, but that was part of the fun.  After the first couple of eggs she really got what she was supposed to do and seemed to really enjoy herself.  Until the last egg.  When she put it in the dye, it splashed up and got all over her face.  Derek and I thought it was pretty funny.  Annika did not.  Fortunately, her being upset didn't last long and she was asking for more eggs.  

Park, Round 2

On yet another beautiful day, we headed to the park.  We had never to been to this one so everything was new.  Annika had to climb up the equipment all by herself and was very proud when she made it to the top.  I think this park is my favorite so far.  It had great things to play on and the area was beautiful!  Even better that it is walking distance from our house!  I'm so very ready for summer so we can spend a lot of time there!

Reading & Relaxing

When Annika is playing with her toys, Derek and I will often sit and read.  I usually put my feet on Derek's lap just to be comfortable.  On this day, I went inside to do something and when I came back out, this is what I found.  Pretty cute.

Outside Fun

Over spring break we spend a ton of time in our backyard.  Annika would rather be outside than inside and the weather was perfect for this.  I finally got my new camera and had some fun playing around with it.  It's great to get some shots of her playing and them not be blurry!  

New Look

Annika's new look.  She will give this to us when we are asking her to do something she doesn't want to do.  It makes us laugh so it really isn't effective for her.  I'm sure as she gets older it won't be quite so funny.
