Decorating for Christmas

This is a bit earlier than I normally decorate for Christmas but yesterday there we were... decorating for Christmas! It is funny for me to see how much more I care about things like ornaments and traditions and such since Ani came along...


Helping Tati Krichou untangle the lights

Krischelle painstakingly fixing the lights

Ani "helping" by going through all the ornaments

Ani's New Bed

Mema and Papi sent Ani a waterbed for her birthday! We finally got around to setting it up a few days ago and she was so excited! (In our defense, we didn't actually receive it until a few weeks ago.)


The next day I went in to see what she was doing and found her like this... reading her books.


Idyllic Childhood

Every now and then Krischelle and I will look at Ani running around in her underwear playing in the mud or watching lizards and just say "Idyllic childhood..." This is one of those times... Ani running around in the rain in her underwear with her monkey... idyllic childhood. By the way, she went into her room and got those hats for herself and monkey before they headed out together...

For Mema

Yesterday Ani decided she wanted to wear her long sleeve cardigan (from Mary Beth and Sarah!). She said she wanted to wear it because that's what daddy wears (long sleeves to church). Fortunately in was a pretty cool windy morning so the cardigan was probably a good idea anyway. She is also saying something to Mema in the pictures... can you see it?
