We started a new tradition this year: sleeping in the living room the night before Christmas. The Wicker family does this every year and we think it's cute and fun. This year we wheeled Anneka into the living room after she was asleep. She was so happy when she awoke at 6:00am to find her mama and papa sleeping nearby!
Anneka was intrigued by the presents. She thought everything was really interesting. Santa put horse meat and rabbit meat in her stocking. Yum yum. Now that it's been a few days after Christmas, we see that she's enjoying her toys more and more: a new doll, books, a toy phone, a wallet of her own with "credit cards" and pictures of her own, and other fun things. Our family sent us presents from the States and it was so fun to have them to open!
The way Anneka is standing in the above picture looks so much like pictures I've seen of Leif as a little boy, sticking out his belly. So cute.
Leif found a grill and gave it to me for Christmas! We have a tradition of making Swedish pancakes every Christmas morning, and the grill worked SO well for that! They were the best Swedish pancakes yet!
We had a relaxing, enjoyable day as our little family.
