February 2014

 Here is February 2014 in videos and pictures!

Annie singing "Happy Birthday" to Emmie!

This girl loves to help me at the grocery store and be super silly!

I am thankful for her grocery store enthusiasm because it makes it a lot more fun for me!

She loves Publix because they give away free cookies to children on each visit and she loves Western because they have carts just her size!

Snuggling with Papa! They love to read books in his recliner too!

I captured two of the sweetest prayers that Annie prayed all of her own accord on video!  We have prayed together every night since she was born but usually it is me praying out loud so it was so special to hear her pray by herself and of her own accord!

"Dear God, Pray for Mommy. Thank you for Mommy.  Amen!"

"Dear God, Pray for Daddy and thank you for Daddy. Amen"

Annie is a sushi eating / chopstick pro and its the cutest thing!!  

We all enjoyed the Winter Olympics last year and Annie especially liked the ice skating that she called "ballet!"  Annie has always been an excellent talker and communicator, but looking back I can't believe how little she was and how far she has come in her speech.  She is so much shorter, chubbier, and talked in much less complete sentences at 2 1/2 than 3 1/2.

We got a couple of inches of snow and Annie LOVED it!  

I blogged about the entire snow event in a separate post last year.

We love Valentine's Day and attempted potato stamp Valentine's for our family.  They did not turn out.

So, instead we used our hands and they did turn out!

Izzy and Alex were so excited about their Valentine!

Mommy and Daddy gave Annie a little Valentine package! 

 She still called herself "Ninnie Girl" this time last year so we all did too!  I miss it.

We attempted heart shaped pink waffles.

For her friends at school, Annie and I made heart shaped pink rice krispie treats.  

We had so much fun making these together!

She was a great little helper!

And wanted to do each part!

Taste testing was her favorite part! 

They turned out so cute!

We went to the zoo with Emmie!

Annie and Daddy enjoying their breakfast together one morning!

We spent our warm sunny days at the park whenever we got the chance!

Annie LOVES her baby dolls and she takes such great care of them! 

I love that she is such a little mommy and nurturer by nature!

Snuggling is one of our favorite things!!!

She still loves her swing on the front porch!

I love looking back at these sweet days with my little punkin! 

She seems so little looking back and like such a big kid now!
