like the whole month of November minus Riley's birthday. I did manage to find time to post about that. A few days before Halloween two of my besties came into town for work, so we had a girls night. It was much needed. Lacey, Linlee, Allyson and I had dinner at Lime and just sat in this booth and talked for about four hours. It was great. No cutting up food into little pieces and no interruptions! Bliss. Allyson refused to be in a picture, so she took this one for us.
A few weeks later was Jeremy's birthday. I managed to snap this picture of him with the girls and the cinnamon rolls that he baked himself. I stuck a candle in one and we sang to him. He was thrilled. You can tell by the look on his face:) Happy 31 to you Jeremy! We love you!
On a beautiful Saturday we had a mommy/daughter day with Samantha and Georgia. We started off playing at the park. Besides playing on all the equipment they ran circles on a little path I don't know how many times. It's amazing what entertains a three year old!
After the park we painted pottery. Riley picked out a butterfly box for all of her jewels and Georgia a piggy bank. Riley loved this and could have done it all day.
The finished products.
On this day Riley had been wearing her faux Ugg boots and the fuzzies were stuck to her toes and therefore ended up in the bath water. She did not like it one bit. Poor thing had to stay in this position while I grabbed my camera. It was too funny not to document. I wish I could remember the words that came out of her mouth.
Aunt BB gets baptized!! She wanted it to be a private, so we met at the church on a Monday night to support her. She was sprinkled when she was younger, but just felt like it was something that she needed and wanted to do! We are proud of you BB! We had dinner at the church afterwards and Travis announced that they were expecting. What a great night. I am so excited that Riley and Endsley will have cousins close to their age and so happy for BB and Trav. I love this pic. Mike looks like he has wings:)
The weekend before Thanksgiving I headed to the big city of Lebanon for a girls weekend at Linlee's. These are some of the girls that were in my pledge class at UT. It was fun to catch up.
We celebrated Thanksgiving in Gallatin on Sunday of that weekend. This was the only pic that I managed to snap that day. Riley refusing to smile.
The night before Thanksgiving Anne and Brent came to visit along with Brooks, Leigh and the kiddos. Here is Anne playing with the kids. I could just imagine what was going through her head with four children under 3 in the house. 2010 is upon us...it's the year guys!
Houston and Riley after their bath. Riley said to houston after they got their pj's on, "Houston, you're so soft and clean." I know he feels like a big boy in that pink kitty towel!

The next night was Thanksgiving at Tony and Phyllis'. Mom made cupcakes for the little ones. Here are Riley and Cole chowing down.
Nonna, Nanny Endsley and Endsley
Endsley's first Thanksgiving!
This is a position that Endsley often finds herself in. This was Riley fighting Anastin over her.

"Brents friend", Anne was Mckennon's surrogate for the night. Leigh had to go back to work the week of Thanksgiving. Bummer.
Brent said, "watch this...I can make her smile." Way to go!

Endsley, Ben and MckennonMeet Sparkles! He showed up the day after Thanksgiving. My aunt gave this little tradition to Riley two years ago. This is obviously the first year that I thought she would get it. I put his box under the tree and waited for her to notice it. When she saw it, she was like, "Ahhh. Look Ashlee. What's that under the tree?!" We opened it and she named him sparkles. I think she chose this because one of the names suggested was Markle. Who knows! He has been showing up all over the place and she is so excited every time she sees him. I think it's more fun for us than it is for her. Jeremy asks everyday if I remembered to move him, if he hasn't done it himself.
That's all I have for November. It was a good one!
