Christmas Day/Columbus

Christmas morning!

SOOOO excited to get a pack of 400 football cards!

and LOTS of Barbie stuff!

Mom got a new Chiefs hat

We didn't waste any time playing!

Traditional pancake breakfast

Went to Columbus later that day

Grandma made Kalia a reading pillow with a pocket for her book

Watching a movie on the way home with our new headphones

Thanksgiving Weekend in Nebraska

On our way to NE...trying to relax & take a nap 

Kalia was so excited to tell Gramma that she was practicing sewing buttons! Gramma got some fabric out for her to have. She selected some fuzzy fabric and decided to make a scarf. Here she's pinning the sides... 

Kalia was learning how to use the pedal while guiding the fabric through

Then was able to do it all by herself! 

Making angel biscuits 

The traditional Lego tower!

This was Kalia's SECOND piece of apple pie! 

The next day, Dad brought me to the NE vs IA game as part of my birthday present.

It was lots of fun but rainy and chilly! 

Kalia and Mom were at her cousin, Erin's house watching the game and staying nice & warm.

July 4th in Columbus

The annual Andreasen weekend on the lake

I got to do a LOT of fishing! I caught the first one right off the bat!

I am most often in the paddle boat with Amelia fishing or driving around looking for fish

This was the first year Dad let me light off all the fireworks.

Our favorite is the parachutes.

We fed the fish each morning so we could see what we were going to catch!

Amelia got a BIG one (watch video below)

Always a time for s'mores!

More evening fishing...

Time for tubing on the lake!

First up - Kalia & Amelia

Next: Amelia & Sophia

Then Amelia got a turn of her own - watch her videos below
