Mmmmmmm.....gingerbread!

 Our annual Christmas tradition of making a gingerbread house. I turned her loose on it this year, and of course she ran out of icing (ate it all) before we got it put together!

Daddy

so excited to see her Daddy show up before the first graders performed at the lighting of Ballard Park.

Trampoline!!

 AK begged me to take her and her friend Ruby to jump at the mall. They were so cute and had so much fun. Best way to get kids to let you get your shopping done.

Cousins at the Game

Aunt Kathy, Uncle Wayne, Hampton, Olivia and Daniel all came down for the MSU/Vandy game. AK was soooo excited to have her cousins here.

Weekend in Nashville

 At Climb Nashville--she was so excited about getting back to this and she did so well!

 Chillin back at the hotel

Swim Meet

 AK had a swim meet in Tupelo this weekend. Grandpa and Gigi got to come see her in action. I'm not sure what's up with the Swim Posse's signs!!?? Ava improved all of her times, so that was good.

Happy HalloWEEEEEN!

At the MSU vs Auburn game

We didn't make it over to the Gameday set, but we still had a great time at our tailgate!!

Birthday Party

 AK and 8 of her friends braved the first cool day of the season (with the help of the pool heater) and had swimming fun at her 7th birthday party. I can't believe she is almost 7!!!! She wanted a horse party, so this is how you have a horse party minus a real horse!

Trampoline!!

She's been begging for years to try the trampoline at the mall...mommy finally said yes.

Frozen in Tupelo

 Anna and Elsa (Frozen) stopped off in Tupelo on their way from Norway to ??? Ava and her friend Ruby got to meet them and make Olaf snacks!! Super fun day at the mall.

First Day of 1st Grade!!

Michael was unable to take her picture at the beginning of the school day, so here is AK and her teacher Mrs. Marlin when I picked her up that afternoon. Her teacher said she was so well-behaved and such a smart girl!!
