Maija & Anntielise on St. Paddy's Day 2008

Happy St. Patrick's Day - 2009

Maija wearing green (& Anntielise's work badge) for St. Paddy's Day!

After Anntielise took her outside on the deck and got wet, she had to put something dry on. Here she is behind the couch while Grandpa reads on the couch.

The new thing is to hide food under the tablecloth!!

Maija does a cheer pose - or does she want up?! :)

Pretty eyes - dirty face!

Grandma gave Maija a box she could have fun with and tear apart!

This is definitely a cheer pose! Go Dawgs!

Maija joins BookClub

Maija joined her mom & Anntielise for book club with some gals from HMB. Maija brought a few of her own, which she was very excited to have read to her during the evening. Fortunately, they were very short!
