As Annika prepares to experience her first Thanksgiving holiday, we wanted to let you know some of the other exciting firsts she’s been experiencing. For her first Halloween, she dressed up as a beautiful butterfly. Jenelle made Annika’s costume herself, and though Jenelle did not think of herself as a seamstress in the past, she’s encouraged by the success of the butterfly costume. The family costumes were rounded out by Jenelle the Bumblebee and Jonathan the Flower.
In early November, the family took a drive through the fall scenery of the Columbia River Gorge, where Annika saw her first waterfall, the 242-foot Wahkeenah Falls. She was obviously very excited and looks forward to seeing many waterfalls in the future.
