The difference in one year

I just thought this was kind of fun to look back at last year's Christmas picture compared to this year's.

Oh yeah

I also like this picture cause she looks so old sitting at a big kid lunch table in our cafeteria! Pretty soon she will be graduating from highschool! She has graduated to 2 word sentences. "See ya", "Hi Aebo", "Bye Aebo", "Help please", and "More please". She is also getting better every day with trying to repeat any word you give her. Some are hard to make out, but others are surprisingly good!

Christmas Mass

Today we had our Christmas Mass as this was our last day of school before Christmas break! After the mass, they bring out the "little knights" (our school daycare group) for them to sing a few songs. This year the song was "there was one, there were two, there were three little angles, ...." Even though Anya was too young to sing it, she still found a way to participate. She was standing right up front and center and held up one finger, then two fingers...it was so cute. The pictures are kind of fuzzy, but hopefully you can see her two little fingers up. I don't doubt that next year she will be the loudest microphone hogging singer.

BSM Christmas Party

My school had a Christmas party for all the little kids of faculty and staff in the building. They had all sorts of stations like face painting, ornament decorating, etc...BUT the only thing Anya wanted to do was play basketball with the boys. She just kept drifting back over to the basketball "court". So here are a few pictures of her approaching the basket and then her "slam dunk". My favorite is of her playing "keep away" with her boyfriend Charlie. There is also her first meeting with Santa. She was not thrilled even though he gave her a cute Christmas book.
