Halloween School Parade 2015

First time I had to photograph 2 kiddos at the same time during their Halloween Parade at school. A bit hectic for me, but the kids had a blast! And just to complete the morning Aanika refueled her body with white milk back at the classroom! I know….whaat….the things kids will do at school 😉

Aanika’s 4th Birthday!

01

Aanika turned 4 years old today! She has so much energy, and her sparkly personality is hard to miss! She loves Kiki’s Delivery Service, her baby dolls and Caillou. She loves to dance, spin in circles and play in her tent. She helps her mama water plants around the house and in the backyard and loves to follow her brother and daddy into the arcade for some game time! Her favorite little person is her cutie pie cousin Naya. She dances just like her brother to the Knight Rider theme song and loves it when her Daddy sings to her! “I vike that!” Happy Birthday to our little Monkey, Princess, Flying Gorgeous Baby Girl. We LOVE you! read more

I Want To Fly

My beautiful little girl is quite fond of Kiki’s Delivery Service. A sweet movie about a 13 year old witch who goes to a new town to make a home for herself. Well the other day I was in the kitchen and Aanika decided to run from the kitchen with our broom in hand. It took me a few moments to run after her. I was thinking the worst…she must be getting into some kind of trouble but to my lovely surprise this is what she was doing….

Beautiful Princess Aanika

Aanika is turning out to be a lovely, beautiful, naughty little princess. She insisted on wearing her princess tiara and gown this evening after bath time so of course I enjoyed doing an impromptu photo shoot of our little darling. She even visited with her kingdom and personally addressed her friends like Mr. Bear you see below!

Aanika’s Holiday Show

03

Aanika had her first holiday show with her new school just before the break. She wasn’t in a mood to actually get up on stage – but the pictures of her beautiful outfit were too good to not post! Hopefully next year we’ll be able to get some of her on a stage! 🙂

Aanika’s First Trip To Disneyland!

11

We started a new tradition this year. Mecum auction comes to LA once a year in the fall, so the boys get their auction / car fix while we get our yearly Disneyland trip! This year it was extra special being Aanika’s first time to the Magic Kingdom. She absolutely loved meeting Goofey, Pluto, Mickey & Minnie and enjoyed the Dumbo ride. We also took her on Mr. Toads Wild Ride, Snow White and a few other fantasy land rides. While Aanika seemed to enjoy all the sites and sounds prior to going on the ride my darling “big boy Jatin” was extra scared of some of the “creepy sights and sounds!” 🙂 He was a trooper though and went on the Pirates of the Caribbean ride with Nick in the evening. We watched a fantastic Holiday parade and watched a Shakespearean version of Beauty and The Beast. I took the kids for a little shopping trip in the evening where Aanika very quickly chose Pocahontas her latest “baby.” We had a lovely dinner outside on main street and headed back to our hotel just in time to watch the fireworks from our room. All in all a very successful trip to Disney! read more

Aanika’s 3rd Birthday!

Aanika had a great 3rd birthday! I made custom cupcakes in mini cones and ordered her classroom a pizza party lunch! She seemed to enjoy it! Aanika is very much into her baby dolls so she received some lovely dolls, and gear to cook, feed and care for her dolls. Happy Birthday Cutie Pie!
