We had a fun, busy weekend. Saturday we went to Bemidji for cousin Gavin's birthday party. It was at The Gym Bin, the gymnastics center. The kids had a GREAT time!
Anja loves cake! She ate her piece and Elise's piece!
Sunday we baked and made Christmas ornaments. When I was little, up until I was in college, my mom and I made ornaments together every year. I thought Elise was ready to start the tradition this year, and I was right! The first time, I started to help her but she said "No mom, I can do it myself!" (I have NO idea where she gets this independence and stubborness :) And she really did do it all by herself! She did a terrific job, I was such a proud mama!
Anja tried it out too, but made more of a mess than anything. But she had fun!

Elise had a good time playing in the flour. She said she was making herself into a clown.
