What are some of Annabelle’s favorite things? Stuffed animals, swimming, superheroes, playing with her brother, and eating guacamole, black beans and rice.
What is Annabelle’s most precious moment? Each day with Annabelle contains precious moments. She is a vibrant, whimsical, determined little girl. A continuous moment that wraps these defining qualities into one is when she proclaims, “I want to fly!” after bath time each night. We wrap her up in a towel, she puts both arms out to the side and makes airplane noises while we “fly” into her room and land on her bed.
What is your favorite Halloween memory with Annabelle? Our family went trick-or-treating last year and approached a home with a large, inflatable spider in the front yard. As her older brother, Lukas, refused to go any further, Annabelle fearlessly braved the dangerous situation and retrieved candy for both herself and her brother.
