St. Nick's Day

Anika & Rick with their St. Nick's Day presents.  They both got candy, Anika got some chapstick/make-up she wanted, while Ricky got some matchbox trucks.

Build A Bears

The kids got Build-A-Bear gift cards from Aunt Sarah and Uncle Nick for Christmas.  Anika picked out a bunny, with a purse and red outfit and named her Flower.  Ricky wanted a bear, wearing a Milwaukee Brewers jersey and named him Ryan Braun bear.

Anika's First Basketball Tournament

Earlier in the day, Anika went to a birthday party that had a face-painter that painted the kids faces, so she got a kick out of going to the basketball tournament with a rainbow painted on her face.

Team Wildcats in action, Anika is dribbling the ball up the court.

Anika in the Madison Catholic Herald (December 2, 2010)

Anika and a few of her classmates in first grade at Sacred Hearts were pictured in this week's Madison Catholic Herald for celebrating Advent around the world (Page 9, December 2, 2010).  Anika is wearing a green vest in the picture.

Each day throughout the Advent season, her class learns about a new country and how their culture celebrates Advent and Christmas.  Her class has the task of locating countries on their classroom Smartboard, then decorating a symbol relating to that country.

Halloween (Oct 31, 2010)

Anika dressed up as a scary character (with a freaky looking, fencing-type mask), she told people she was a "mummy."  Ricky wore a fire rescue outfit, firefighter hat along with a toy dalmatian dog.  Ricky didn't do as much trick-or-treating as Anika as he was in one heck of a bad mood.
