It was a little chilly outside last night and since we walked down to play with Cameron, we all for dressed up in our jackets and sweaters. Annika, on the other hand, looked more like a little burrito.
This is what she looks like when she is not a burrito.
Oh, and see what Santa in Denmark put in Annika's stocking!
We got home after six and spent the evening at home opening presents for us four. There were so many presents under the tree and we ended up saving a few for Christmas Morning. I opened my presents and Annika's presents too. We got more clothes and lots of toys.
It took 5 seconds to finish breakfast, another 2 seconds to get dressed and finally, I was outside, testing my new ride!
A cool dude! Later, omma and abbi came by and they got to see my new car too.
I hope, you had a wonderful Christmas as well!
There is nothing like fresh, warm cookies.
Cameron and I have played a lot lately, since I have been home more. One evening, babba, Cameron and I played with this remotely controlled helicopter, Santa in Denmark had sent. Babba flew the helicopter and Cameron and I took turns catching it.
Another evening, we visited Cameron and had pizza and painted noodles for a Christmas decoration.
Babba taught me how to iron my shirt. It is easy, but very very hot. Babba also says he needs to teach Aunt Christi and Uncle Steve.
Even a big stretch doesn't help much when you are in the 5th percentile (this means that 5% infants are smaller and 95% are bigger than you)
Santa in the Faroes sent this purple teddy bear to Annika.
Big brother Benjamin borrowed babba's glasses.... he looks like one smart big brother :)
These past days, we have had a great time at home. I was supposed to go to a birthday party this weekend, but it was cancelled. Instead, we went to the annual neighborhood Christmas party. I took a picture with Santa, had some snacks and got a goody bag. There was also a moon walk and hayride. Mamma and Annika stopped by for a little bit, but didn't stay for long.
Mary and Aunt Christi came by to say hello and to see Annika. While Aunt Christi was talking to mom and dad and played with Annika, Mary and I were busy playing puzzles and trains.
This morning, we wanted to get out of the house, so we headed over to the Woodlands mall. Mamma and Babba told me about the carousel at the mall, but I really didn't like the idea of the carousel..... until I saw it (that's when the broken record went from: I don't want to go!...to I want to go!). Babba and I rode the carousel several times and he even showed me how to make silly faces every time we passed mamma and Annika.
Annika didn't get to ride the carousel, since she was fast asleep in the stroller.
Omma and abbi came by to visit this afternoon. Omma played with Annika, but had to be careful and watch her back. Omma recently had back surgery and is wearing her turtle shell and has to be very careful. Oh, and she showed us the zipper on her back!
Abbi, babba and I played puzzles and of course, we raced each other. We all won a game or two. Abbi cheated a little with his puzzle, but I still won some races!
The weather forecast said, we may get some snow or sleet. Finally, in the late afternoon, it started snowing. We ran outside with a camera, but the snow was still too light to see on camera.
Little by little it came down and we were able to build this little, one inch snowman.
As the evening went on, more snow fell and we managed to build a slightly bigger snowman.
The ground was covered in snow and babba and I had a snowball fight. I won!
All of our neighbors were outside and enjoyed the snow and the kids were outside playing until late evening. It was such a cozy Christmas evening - Outside, snowflakes falling slowly to the ground, Christmas lights and children playing. Inside, Christmas music playing and the fireplace going. What a great evening.
After playing outside for a good while, we came back inside. We had to get undressed in the garage, since we were soaked.
Then I sat down in front of the fireplace to defrost and after some hot chocolate, was ready to go to bed. 
Of course, I had to hold Annika for a little bit and kiss her good night first.
I have already gotten the hang of bossing people around. The minute I am hungry, food is there. Of course, giving mom the angry look helps too. They keep telling me that I and so little, but just want until I am hungry and I make sure that I am both seen and heard.
But, usually, I am just happy and content when I am awake.
Annika
