Anna's First Time on the Rink!

Daddy and Anna went ice skating for the first time last week. She loved it!



They went back this week and Anna did it without Daddy holding on!

Anna's Christmas Program

For ONCE, this video comes late not because of my blogging failures, but because Anna's Christmas Program was held today, January 13th, instead of on December 16th like it was scheduled.

The December program was iced out and this week's replacement nearly got snowed out but we prevailed and other than the uber-unprofessional camera woman (moi) giggling often and the cute clown in the second row distracting the "star", it makes for some good footage.

So enjoy!

Methinks bathtub crayons are a bad idea...

Interestingly, it washed off the tub, but not her face. She's had a slightly blue nose now for 2 days!
