Santa & Dancing!

We are in full Christmas mode!  We put up Ainsley's tree in her room and broke out the Christmas bows!

Ainsley playing with her daddy!

Ainsley with her Papa Larry & Grammie before they headed back home to IL.  Ainsley loves her G & Papa.  She FaceTimed with them for the first time yesterday.  She was eating a snack at the time.  Once she finished her snack, she held up her bowl to the phone and said "more please" to her G & Papa!  She knows they will take care of her!

Saturday we took Ainsley to the Amana Colonies to see their Christmas Tree Barn and see Santa!

We told A it would be cold, and she signed "cold"!

Taking care of Minnie Mouse before we left for our mini-trip!

We were only in the Christmas tree barn for 10 minutes total--but Miss A was COLD!  She didn't have a smile to spare during this outing!

Not happy, but she tolerated Santa!

Santa offered to take a family photo with us!  He was SO nice!

Ainsley loves to say "hi" to baby Jesus.

Each tree was decorated so cute!  Here is A and me by a Highway 80 tree!

Notice Ainsley's smile is back!  We took her to a warm lunch at a great place in Amana!  Ainsley ate her weight in mashed potatoes! 

Sunday we dropped off a meal for our friends who just had a baby.  She was precious!  Since they live 30 minutes from us, we grabbed lunch before we headed home!  Balloons work magic with Ainsley!  She was so happy, and didn't let the balloon leave her side during dinner!

My sweet girl!

Ainsley at school today!  Her daily report said, "Ainsley had fun showing off her dance moves".  We love watching The Voice as a family and Ainsley loves dancing during the performances!  We may have an American Idol in the making!  I could see her being a little Carrie Underwood :)!

Have a great week!
