Ainsley's 3rd Birthday Party

Ainsley wanted a pony party, so we had a Western themed party for her 3rd birthday. We are so lucky that my Uncle Richard has horses and was able to bring Rudy over for the event. My Mom made her wonderful "Sullivan Family Cookies" in the shape of cowboy boots and cowboy hats. They were too cute and as Ainsley said "those cookies are great"! We had a wonderful day. The weather was perfect and the kids had a blast riding Rudy and jumping in the bounce house. Ainsley was so happy to have her friends from daycare and family come to her party.

Breakfast with Santa

The 3 of us went with Aunt Kelly and Ann Elise to Oasis in Amory for Breakfast with Santa. Ainsley loved Santa this year!! I was so happy that she wanted to talk to him and not run away. She told him she wanted a doll house for Christmas, but Santa was a little hard of hearing and thought she wanted a dog house. He even asked her if she wanted a big dog house or a little dog house. I think we got him straightened out, so he will deliver the right thing.

The Pokey ( I mean Smokey) Mountains

Daniel, Ainsley, Gigi, Papa and I took a nice vacation to the Pokey Mountains(as Ainsley calls them)in early October. We stayed in a different cabin than we normally do and it was actually up the mountain. The cabin was very nice, but we will not be staying there again because it was pretty scary trying to drive at night on those winding roads and steep cliffs. We also visited the Knoxville Zoo, which was a wasted day. Sadly the animals were few and far between and very sleepy. No matter what it was a wonderful break from our regular routine and we would gladly go back any day. Thanks Gigi and Papa for taking us back to the mountains.
