Today we celebrated Jesus' birthday with Elizabeth and Annika. We don't see them nearly enough though they are so very special to us.
This is my one of my favorite annual traditions we do and I love seeing these 2 celebrate Jesus together...
First, there were hugs - Makenna LOVES her "Annakana". She has been talking about her non-stop since I told her we would see her yesterday. "Annakana can help you with this mommy.... Annankana can find this for us mommy..." Too sweet!
There was an attempt at posing for a smiley picture
There was dancing and twirling while we waitied in line.
There was just pure joy at the time together.
And of course, there were sprinkle donuts!!
There was singing Happy Birthtday with lit candles and all (yes, in the middle of Dunkin Donuts)
Love these 2!!! I was just thinking how awesome it was that we waited to open our presents for each other until after we were done celebrating and singing and neither girl complained that they wanted to do it right away when we got there. But I did just notice that our donuts are half eaten here as we are singing....ha ha.
Afterwards, we realized we hadn't done nearly enough catching up and wanted to spend more time togehter so we went with Elizabeth and Annika to the mall to go see Santa. Annika wanted to ride in my car and the conversation between the 2 of them in the car made me smile the whole way. What a couple of sweeties!!
Makenna insisted Annika hold her hand at all times
No, that isn't Santa she is so excited to see.....It's Butch - Annika's daddy! Makenna loves him:)
Makenna's not so sure this was worth the wait.....ha ha!
Thank you Annika for the Christmas present!! We LOVE your hand me downs!! Keep 'em coming!! And yes, pants were apparently optional when we got home.
Happy Birthday Jesus!!!
