Morning

What morning at our house is like...

Crazy Cowgirl- you gotta love the red cowboy hat, someone in Hawaii loves me shirt, fake pearls, and no pants. Now that is an outfit!

Exersaucer time while Mommy makes sister's Mickey pancakes (there is also a possibility that she is laughing at the cowgirl)

Little Worker

Putting her to work at the shop... sitting on mom's desk helping her start the taxes!

Sass

No pics today, just a conversation with Ainsley.

A: I am not ready for bed.
Me: You can watch this Thomas and then you are going to bed.
A: I want to sleep with you.
Me: Nope, you can watch this Thomas and then you are going to bed.
A: I don't like that option, can you give me another one?

Seriously.

It is so hard to discipline her b/c you are too busy laughing at the things that come out of her mouth. Her reasoning skills amaze me.

3 going on 13 I tell you.

Psssttt... SANTA!

we're ready for you!

Tummy Time

Tummy time is usually filled with tears and screaming, but today was a different story!

Here she was talkiing to the bird on her blanket from Grandma. They had quite a conversation. :)

Exersaucer

One of Ainsley's favorite activities when she was little was her exersaucer. We decided to give Allie a try in it tonight and she liked it too! It took a few blankets to hold her in place and you will see from the second picture that her feet cannot touch the bottom, but the smile is worth a thousand words!

Preschool Christmas Party

Ainsley had her preschool Christmas Party this week. Poodle got to come and be there with her, so A was especially excited. The kids got to come in their pj's for the day and decorate cookies at the party. Word is that one kid licked the sprinkle shaker- thanks Poodle for keeping that away from Ainsley!

Ainsley and Miss CeCe

A special thanks to Poodle who watched the girls all week. They sure had a blast!

Christmas at Grandma's

We had Christmas at Grandma's last weekend, and boy were we spoiled! I am furious at myself for not gettng a picture oif the girls with Grandma!

The girls with Aunt Kristin

Ainsley LOVES candy canes

Dance Recital

Ainsley had her first dance recital! She did so well. Mom was scared that she would be nervous with all the people and under all the lights, but she was fine! She had her beautiful holiday dress and put her hair up in spoge curlers for curls! She looked beautiful and made us proud.

Flash photography was not allowed, so the pics are not as great as usual, but you can see her!

It's exhausting

to be this cute...

Christmas Countdown Chain

Ainsley is big into craft projects these days so when we saw the countdown chain on Rubie's blog, I knew we had to make one. Thanks to Aunt Kelly for the saying that goes on the star!

Here is Ainsley making the loops- she did awesome lining up the two sides to make the loop and alternating the colors.

and taking off the first link...

Candy Land

Ainsley LOVES playing Candy Land. Daddy has played many, many, many games with her since she got it for her birthday. She never, ever cheats either...well maybe sometimes, but don't you worry, she will make sure to remind you not to cheat. :)

An Allie Gator Smile

How cute is she? We got a laugh from her this weekend too!
