Snow Day!

Making Snowballs 

Hugging the snowman.  Of course she calls him Olaf.  When he melted she cried real tears of sadness. 

Fashion Diva 

Hanging with the girls 

Great playplace we found in Boise over Thanksgiving break 

 She really likes slides best head first

 Annalise meets Skeletor.  Dan pulled out his old Master of the Universe action figures.

The cuteness 

Annalise has some fun new things she loves to do lately.  She has discovered the power of the pout.  She does a little lip pout and in a sweet sad voice she begs for whatever she "needs." She has a stool for the bathroom to wash her hands and she has taken to carrying it all over the house and using it to get into whatever she "needs."  She wants to do her hair and she will get into the bow drawer and come out with 50 bobby pins stuck in her hair.  She really loves Shadow the cat and she has started trying to get him to do whatever she wants.  The other night she was so frustrated because she wanted Shadow to go the fire.  She stomped her foot and said "Shadow go the the fire....its the yellow thing over there....just go."  She is funny, independent, stubborn, demanding, compassionate, and super sweet.  We sure love her!

Wow, am I behind or what!

 Annalise has a deep and abiding love for play-doh!

She also has loves jumping on the trampoline with Maddie and Haley 

I love this expression because it sums up the high spirited craziness that is Annalise! 

Family Home Evening to see the leaves 

These three fill my heart up to the brim with love and happiness.  I adore the pants off of each one of them! 

Annalise did not approve of the gunky stuff inside of pumpkins and quickly abandoned us to watch her favorite movie that we have all seen way too many times-Frozen. 

She did love the finished result.  The moon pumpkin was her choice.  She has a great fascination for the moon and needs to find it in the sky everyday.  When the moon doesn't come out to play she says, "Where the moon go-stop hiding moon or you be in trouble!"

My little Strawberry Shortcake 

She is so very beautiful I can hardly stand it 

These were taken after the treating was done.  A well deserved rest, some water, and a lollipop.  She really loved the trick-or-treating process and was quite upset when she had to come in but she loved giving candy to people who rang the door. 

 Tea Party

 Water Works at the Museum of Natural Curiosity

Ummm....Ice Cream 

Playing at Thanksgiving Point 

This was such a fun magical moment.  We went for a Sunday walk and Annalise discovered the wonders of making a wish and blowing away the dandelion fluff.  She was enchanted with it and had a great time blowing every dandelion she could find.
