While the boys are away, the girls will play!

Well, today the boys took a day to play "hookie" so us girls thought that we better have some fun too! So Pete and OJ (along with a troop of others) went to the woods somewhere to snowmobile and be real men...so Amber and I thought we would keep with woman tradition and hit up the mall! Oh yeah, did we have the funnest day I have ever had with Maja! We started the day at the Water Park of America! The girls played in the water all morning and half the afternoon...it was a wonderful place to get out and play, the park is amazing for kids! Then we thought we better hit the MOA (Mall of America) and the girls could sleep while we did a little bit of shopping! Then after our feet were sore from walking around the mall we took Maja and Addie to the Underwater World! The girls LOVED it! We got to see all sorts of cool fish and sharks, and Maja even got to touch the back of a stingray! It was the greatest, most exhausting day...so much fun being a girl!

Christmas 07

What a wonderful Christmas. Maja was so much fun this year, she really got into opening presents and wanted to play immediately with all of her new toys! She did such a great job and was so much fun to watch...as you can see "Santa" was very good to her this year, she really has been a good girl all year long! When it comes to "toys" her and Pete and her are like two peas in pod...things that move, and go FAST! She loves that Jeep and will sit in it all day long...you should see her hold on and hit the gas, it is a riot!

On the creative side, just like her mom...well almost!

Maja has definately tapped into her creative side, she is LOVING coloring and designing new things with her markers and crayons! Now she even got an easel and supplies from Grandma and Grandpa Anderson, as well as a bunch of great new art supplies from Grandma & Grandpa Henslin! Watch out...Maja will color everything she can reach with the marker--even her own face, as you can see by some of the pictures! She also loves to eat the markers....so we are trying to emphasize crayons now a days--that side of her is probably more like Pete!!! ha ha ha.
