Playing Outside

We have been so fortunate lately with the weather.  It's been pretty close to perfect.  Today was a little cooler, but not too bad and Annika wanted to go outside to play.  Doesn't she look so cute in her vest and boots?  Those were a Christmas present from my sister.  She loves her boots!

TWO!!

Annika just learned how old she will be on Saturday.  

Happy New Year

Happy New Year from the entire Berg family!

Cousins

The day after Christmas, my mom, sister, brother-in-law and nephews came up so we could have Christmas at our house.  I loved having them here!  We opened presents, then went out to The Legends and had lunch at Dave and Busters.  Then we played for a couple of hours.  It was so fun!  Of course, I did not take one picture of any of this.  So, I tried to make up for it when we went for ice cream.  Annika loved sitting between Dagan and Zeke.  She also loved playing with their hats.  They are great kids and were really great with her.  They even let us try to get a picture of all of them.  

Trampoline

Annika loves her trampoline.  She loves to bounce on it but she also loves to eat her snacks on it.

iPod & Papa

 We got Greg an iPod for Christmas and when we were over visiting, Annika wanted to hear the music he had downloaded.  Pretty Cute!

Christmas Dress

Derek's mom bought Annika a beautiful dress for Christmas.  We were going to have her wear it when we went to church on Christmas Eve, but we didn't end up going because I got sick.  So, we put her in the dress when we went to Jan and Greg's on Christmas night.  I love that the weather was warm enough that she didn't need a coat, just her cute hat.  Trying to get a 23 month old to stand still, especially around all her new toys, is quite challenging.  I did get a couple of good ones of her smiling, but I kind of like the one of her crying!

Getting ready to leave.

Waiting patiently for Daddy.

Isn't her dress beautiful?

It's just too cute not to post!

She is saying, "Cheese!"

So pretty.  

Christmas Afternoon

After Annika took a good nap on Christmas, she got up and wanted to play with her toys.  As you can see, she wanted to play inside her dolls pack and play and then ride in the stroller.  I'm sure glad Santa got sturdy toys since Annika likes to climb!  As you can also see, our house was a bit of a disaster.  We didn't care one bit because Annika was so happy.  It really was a great day!

Amazing Weather

The weather we had on Christmas day was amazing.  So amazing that when Annika wanted to go outside and pet the neighbors dog, all she needed was a hat and some shoes.  I love that she is in her PJ's, boots, and hat, and she doesn't care at all.  By the way, the super cute hat was made by her Aunt Kristen.  

Christmas Morning

Annika woke up Christmas morning ready to see what Santa brought her.  She was pretty quiet and not really sure what was going on, but once she saw the toys for her baby doll, and her Mickey Mouse, she was pretty happy.  We let her play with her doll toys then she got to open her stocking.  Just like the night before, she really only wanted to play with the toys and didn't care about opening the presents.  After the stocking, she got one of her favorite presents.  A trampoline from Grandma Glenda!  She LOVED it.  We let her bounce on that for awhile until Derek's family got to our house.  Once everyone got here we opened the rest of the presents and just let Annika play.  It was a great morning.  

Christmas Eve

Getting ready for Santa to visit.  We left cookies and beer, because Santa loves beer!
