  • It's never too late to post a Christmas video - even if it's almost June! So, last Christmas was a special one for us as Annika was finally of an age where she understood what the festival meant and also helped me in decorations and cooking. It was also our last week in Kerala, so it was quite bitter sweet. Annika was super excited for the whole of December and couldn't wait for opening her gifts. We did try to keep the actual celebrations lowkey considering that we had a lot of packing and moving to do shortly afterwards. We also invited some friends over in the evening with whom Annika was a bit hesitant to share the Christmas cake with :)

    We will miss payyannur vlogs. As a keralite I enjoy your stay over there. You shifted to mumbai but I knew so late. Last month we shifted to Hyderabad . Still last few days I searched your face in busy mumbai city. Now I can go through nostalgic Mumbai days through your Mumbai vlogs. Watching annika’s milestones , I am recollecting my own kids childhood.
    Lots of love.
    Yesterday I visited ikea and was thinking of you only
    Love you so much

    Do I see a prospective world class fine artist in the making❤❤...Annika 's concentration while painting and the confidence with which see is handling the brush speaks volumes about how involved she is 😘😘
    Is the rice porridge similar to the Indian rice kheer??

    • @JohannaNorth
      @JohannaNorth  Před měsícem +1

      She definitely has a creative flair about her whichever way she might want to express it in the future! Be it painting, singing, dancing, whatever 😊
      And yes, rice porridge is kinda like a very thick kheer. But you’re not supposed to cook the porridge with sugar, but only add sweetening later!

But I don't want to leave some of the most wonderful family moments and memories of Annika's growth unedited into videos and not posted on my channel, so I try not to care too much.
