Dress Up

A friend of ours recently gave L. 2 dress up costumes (ariel and cinderella). She loves to put on these costumes often!

Birthday

I had an enjoyable day with lots of wishes from people and enjoyed a few freebies as well. C. went with me to Einstein's for a bfast sandwich and then L joined me for a bday meal at an Italian restaurant that night. She really enjoyed that outing- getting to play tick tack toe (first time) and having ice cream/candle to blow out.

Christmas at Bass Pro Shop

Playing with the remote control monster truck

C loved these big characters

L enjoyed them too

Every year Bass Pro Shop has a great Christmas area set up for little ones to enjoy  - Santa, remote control cars and trucks and trains and a carousel - and it's all free. Many times we'll go in the afternoons and enjoy it with hardly anyone there. This was the opening day and it was VERY BUSY.

Tallulah Gorge

We took a 1.5 hour drive to northern Georgia and enjoyed the sites of the gorge.

5th Birthday

L enjoyed her "Ariel" birthday party and had 13 other children join her.

lots of girls helping open gifts

It was a fun birthday even thought it was a chilly day. 8 boys and 5 girls attended the party along with their parents. Grandmother and her other grandparents attended along with my good friend Melanie. They were all a big help in preparing for the party. Barbie dolls are her favorite right now!
