Tea Party......for BOYS????

Somehow, I always thought that I would be the first to have a tea party someday with my DAUGHTER. But alas, my husband beat me to it, and held a tea party with his SON. Keith promised Benjamin a tea party for just the 2 of them, if Benji behaved on an outing with me this past week. That was motivation enough for Benji, and alas, my husband now holds the status of having held the first official "tea party" in the Anderson household.

Twin Day

It was "twin day" at school, so Isaac and Joshua (since they share the same last name, and also because they are such good friends) decided to be twins. Isaac bought this WONDERFUL shirt for Joshua for them to wear that day. Don't they look great?

She's SITTING!!!!

All in ONE day, this dear child decided to sit, roll over, AND wave bye-bye!

At LAST the Child Rolls Over!

I guess you just have to want something badly enough......

Another "Keith Michael" Creation

Once again, my son has created quite the army set up!

SNOW!

Dressing warmly to go outside.......not sure why the glasses.

The older boys were in school, so I got to go out and play with Benji in the snow......it was fun.

Our neighbors graciously let us sled down their driveway.....so fun!

Mommy snow angel, and Benji snow angel.

Last year, Benji didn't really understand how to play in the snow......this year he gets it, and has LOVED playing in it.

The boys played late into the night, so I took pictures from the warmth of the INSIDE!

The boys were having fun burying Scott.

She LOVES Her Thumb

Making Pancakes

Marc wanted to make pancakes for lunch the other day, and of course, Benji wanted to help!

Our Drama Queen

This is the ultrasound picture when Michaella was only 12 weeks gestational age. Notice her hand.

Here she is at 15 weeks gestational age, and again she has her hand by her head. At this point, Keith dubbed her our 

"drama queen"........

........here she is at 9 months still holding her hand up by her head just like she did before she was even born! Old habits die hard, I guess!

Michaella is 9 Months Old

What Benji Does, George Must Also Do!

So Sweet!

I asked Joshua to hold Michaella the other night for a little while. Next thing I knew, she was sound asleep on his lap.....it was so sweet!

PRETENDING that She Has Enough Hair

I just couldn't resist trying to put a hair clip in her hair......it was so cute, even if she does have next to NO hair in which to clip it!

Marc's Robotic Scorpion

Fun with Friends from Brazil

Some friends from Brazil came and spent the day with us last Saturday. They very generously took our entire family out to Red Lobster.......yummy! With our large group of people, we were given a room all to ourselves.....it was awesome!

Benji was enthralled with the lobster tank.

Mmmm........crab legs!

Marc and Joshua really enjoyed their lobster pizza.

Scott was delighted with his popcorn shrimp.

Why, exactly, would you order anything other than mac and cheese when you go out for dinner?

Michaella: "Someday I'll have that much hair.....it might not be until I'm 4, but SOMEDAY........"

Holding both babies......Michaella looks like she's thinking......hey, what's she doing holding us BOTH at the same time?!?!?!
