Family, Food, Fun!

These two have such a fun time together!

Thursday night we went to the mall playground and Ainsley was thrilled that she ran into her classmate there!

A couple of times this week when we picked up A from school, her teacher fixed her hair so cute--this day it was a french braid!

Pony Tails--she looks like such a big girl!

Ainsley helped me bake cookies Saturday!

Oops, this one is out of order...a minnie mouse pancake for a special breakfast out on Saturday morning!

Back to cookie baking--Ryan's parents surprised us with a quick visit this weekend.  So we made some cookies and tacos for dinner Saturday evening just in time for their arrival!  Ainsley was SO excited to see them!

After dinner--we all went to the mall!

We were at the mall well past Ainsley's bed time, but as you can  see from the picture Ainsley is the only one still with a ton of energy here at 9 pm!

After the mall--Linda & Larry took Ainsley back to our house for a bath and bed and Ryan and I went out for desert at Chili's.

This morning, Ryan and I went to church and A got to spend some quality time with her Grammie and Papa Larry.

For lunch we went to the Amana Colonies.

I've never seen Ainsley eat SO many mashed potatoes!

We went to a craft store after lunch!

Ainsley had so much fun spending time with her Grammie & Papa!

Ryan at the craft store--he was thrilled!

I am now realizing this post has way too much food & sugar--I'll work on that for the next one!  Tonight--we enjoyed some blizzards and had a movie night with the three of us!  

I enjoyed the craft store a little more than Ryan did :)!

Ainsley is such a tom boy and a girly girly! I got her a new nightgown this weekend and she was SO excited to wear it tonight.  She kept saying, "dress"!
