Inga's third birthday party!

Inga's birthday cake, as she requested, "spider-on-a-duck-cake"

(in reverse order) finally, the big present, Busca, and then collapse.

christmas morning

Inga received a gorgeous cat hat from an un-named member of the Andersen family-- I'd place money on it that it was Meg (and amazing puppets! (not pictured because Inga had already taken them up to her puppet theater)).

And a fantastic sweater from a named member of the Andersen clan (Beth). It is Inga's favorite color and fits better than it looks in these pictures (it is on over her christmas dress, which makes things look odd).

Not pictured are wonderful socks from another un-named Andersen, but again, we deduced that it was probably Deborah. Inga was moving too fast to get anything on her feet, but she will be wearing them when she goes outside to play in the snow after her nap.

Thank you and a Merry Christmas to all of the Andersens in New York and Arkanas. We wish that we could be with you.

The alien is from santa, of course. The dollhouse remodel is courtesy Justin at 1 am last night. Which is, why my dear parents, why we needed to get off Skype in NE and drive home last night.

The parents are tired, but Inga gets to nap...We have more shoveling.

Mery Christmas to you all. I hope you are all having as much fun as Inga.
