Maija says "Go Huskies!"

During the long ride to Spokane Anntielise and Maija spent a lot of time perfecting the Go Huskies! cheer! Here, Daddy calls Uncle Jason so Maija can show off what she can do!

Maija goes back to Spokane - 10/29/09

Maija spent the week with Mormor and Papa after the Husky game and it was now time to drive back to Spokane where the family was going to celebrate Maija's 2nd birthday! Maija was hanging out in Papa's truck while he got everything ready for the trip.

Once on the road, Maija quickly gets sleepy

Awake again, Maija poses with her "Cheese!" face

Finally in Spokane, Maija peeks out from the bathroom door - Boo!

Maija must be laughing at Grauntie Maren

Yum - french fries and ketchup

All bundled up and ready for the game - Maija loved kicking the dry leaves on the way to the gate

Walking with Mormor


It's amazing how fast a happy little girl can get sad with a trip on the concrete

Anntielise and Maija playdate - October 26, 2009

Maija ready for a little tea party

Tea?

Anntielise - not knowing that it had worked just fine with fake liquid, thinks it would be more fun to have water in our little Tupperware bowls being used as tea cups.

Yum! Maija likes this! So lady like - it was nearly a Japanese tea ceremony!


Maija drinks Anntielise's tea, too

Hmm! That's good!

Time for a second round!

Here we go again!

Cheese! Time for dinner!

Maija and Anntielise

Maija liked the sauce from dinner so much that she had to ladle more sauce onto her plate and then use a piece of pork to soak it up and lick it off several times!

After dinner, Maija and Anntielise spent some time in the bathroom "washing" our hands and splashinging around a bit, so Maija had to change out of her wet clothes and into her knew pajamas from Grauntie Maren! And then Maija wanted to play some hide and seek in the closet!


Boo!

Boo again!

Maija shows off her new toy she got as an early birthday present

Maija sees Arnold being a silly cat!
