Birthday Party

My mom hosted a birthday party for Ansleigh-bug while we were in town so that family could celebrate her birthday with her.

Since she had a Minnie party in Florida, Lolli threw her a Tink party here.

Christmas

We spent our Christmas up in Alabama.

We had Christmas at GranNana's house on the 19th (in Anniston).

We had Christmas at Mimi's house on the 20th (in Weaver).

We had Christmas with Aunt Debbie, Uncle David, and Lauren in Selma on the 23rd (in Selma).

We had family Christmas with all the Friday's (Papa, Nana, Uncle Chad, Aunt Rachel, Turner, and Anna Cate) Christmas Eve (in Troy).

Santa came (to Troy) Christmas morning.

We had Christmas with the Fair's (Pop Pop, Lolli, Uncle Jon, Aunt Sissy, and Tyler) Christmas night.


We traveled a lot but enjoyed every second of it. We loved getting to spend a little time with all our families.

We hope you had a wonderful holiday too! :)

A Bed for a Big Girl

This weekend we took apart Ansleigh's crib/toddler bed and moved it out of her room. We rearranged her room in preparation for a visit from Santa, and now Ansleigh is sleeping in her day bed, which by the way, used to be my day bed. She opened up her new big girl bedding to put on there.

She's been a champ and loves her new bed! Our sweet baby girl is growing up so fast!

Ansleigh's Birthday

Two days ago our little Buggy-Boo turned 2 years old!

We'd planned on taking her to Disney to celebrate her birthday instead of a party. My parents arranged to come down so we decided to make a cake and have a few people over to celebrate. At the last minute, my parents were unable to make it down, but the cake was baked so we went ahead with plans.

Three of Ansleigh's sweet friends made it over to help her eat her Minnie cake. :)

On Friday, we held off on going to Disney and it was a good thing we did! It rained and poured all day long! We're going in January.

Two days ago, on her actual birthday, she got to have cookies for breakfast :) with chocolate milk. We watched her favorite show (Mickey Mouse Clubhouse) and for dinner, we took her to Chick-fil-a to eat dinner, play on the playground, and have some ice cream.

While we're in Anniston, Lolli & Pop are hosting a TinkerBell birthday party for all the family that can never be with her on her birthday. Stay tuned for pics from that. :)

A Little Behind...

So I'm a little behind on the family blog.

At the pumpkin patch, Ansleigh was not really interested in having her picture made. She was more interested in lining up and rearranging all the pumpkins there. It was hot here (as usual) and she was ready to leave about 10 minutes after we got there.

The afternoon of Halloween, we took her to a fall festival a few of the local churches were putting on. As she gets older she will really enjoy it but there wasn't much she could do there.


Halloween was amazing! Ansleigh was Minnie Mouse and she loved every second of it. She went trick-or-treating with her boyfriend, Jackson. At each house, Ansleigh thought she was supposed to trade one piece of candy for a new one. :)

For Thanksgiving, we traveled up to Alabama to visit my family. We drove up on Tuesday. On Wednesday, we had a scare with Anthony's grandma and made a quick trip to Selma to visit her in the hospital. We came back to Anniston on Thursday and spend Thanksgiving day with family. Friday my mom, my sister and I went shopping and braved the crowds. Saturday I tried my hand at photography, taking pictures of the beautiful fall scenery and my sweet baby nephew Tyler. We tried to get a few shots of him and Ansleigh but she wasn't really interested in cooperating. On Sunday, we headed back to Florida to the heat.

Ansleigh loved being at her Lolli & Pop's house (who wouldn't?). She played in the leaves and ate cookies and played with the "bay" (Baby Tyler) and Mocha, my sister's puppy. Pop built her an amazing playhouse that she played "peekdaboo" in. We can't wait to head back up!
