It's Begining To Look Alot Like Christmas

Ainsley got her very own PINK Christmas tree for her room and she LOVES it!

Family Visit

Instead of shopping on Black Friday we drove to Jackson to visit more family. Kathleen, Mike and Logan came in from Nashville and we all met at Reid and Paula's for the day to see everyone. It was a wonderful day and I wish we could do it more often.

Ainsley loved feeding the puppies with Aunt Bonnie.

Thanksgiving 2011

We had another wonderful Thanksgiving with lunch at Mimi and Pawpaw's and the Cox supper at our house. I am very thankful to have such a great family to spend Thanksgiving with. We all ate too much of course, but can't wait to do it again in December!!

Sweet girls!

1st Time Skating

Ainsley went to her first skating party today for Christy Carol and Lexi Grace Smith. She has never had skates on her feet, but caught on really fast. I had the lady tighten the wheels, so they did not go too fast, but they did roll. She took a few practice steps holding my hand, then told me I could go away. She was so proud of herself and I was too!

Happy 4th Birthday Ainsley

Ainsley will soon be four years old (on November 27) and we had her 4th birthday party this weekend. She wanted a Tinkerbell party, but we were inviting boys too, so we had a Tinkerbell/Pirate party. I printed out coloring sheets of Tinkerbell, Peter Pan and Captain Hook for them to color, got boxes for them to decorate with stickers as their treasure chests, had beads for them to make necklaces, Gigi made a Pin the Wings on Tinkerbell game and they got to Go Fishing for their goody bags. Ainsley also had the most amazing birthday cake every! Cakes by Rita in Tupelo made her a Tinkerbell cake that was almost too pretty to eat (but we did)! We had a wonderful day with family and friends and were so happy to celebrate our little girl's 4th birthday!

Our beautiful birthday girl!

Ainsley was concentrating very hard on her necklace.

Gigi also made pin the wings on Tinkerbell for the kids to play.
