Christmas Time!

 We love Christmas in our home (Dad only after Thanksgiving) so we went to see Santa and have our picture taken.

I told Santa I would write him a note to let him know what I wanted.  Ashley asked for her hair to come in.  Mom asked for a nap.

Ashley's Blessing Day

 

 

 Sunday was my blessing day.  Grandma Caylinn bought my blessing dress.  Isn't it pretty?

 

I didn't want to smile for any of the pictures.  Mom tried to do a photo shoot three different days, but I was more worried about eating my hands, or eating the ribbon on my dress.

 

 

 Daddy did a great job on the blessing.  Lee Snyder, Vince William, Ben Jett, and Bishop Phil Karski stood in the circle.

 

  This is what I was blessed with:

 

 *A compassionate heart to be able to see the needs of others and want to help them

*That I would grow physically strong, mentally strong, and spiritually strong

*That I would gain a testimony of the Lord Jesus Christ

*That I was blessed with parents that love me and I should listen to them

*That I should learn from the example of my mother and be a strong daughter of Heavenly Father

*To teach others and build others up

*To have a desire to marry in the temple and raise a family in righteousness

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 Mommy and I had matching bracelets that she made.

 

 

 

 

Halloween

It was time to carve the pumpkins.

 

 Ashley helped keep track of the pumpkin lid.

 

 

 

 I designed the face all by myself.

 

 

Preschool Halloween Parade and Party

 At preschool we had a parade and party.

 We got pizza and doughnuts and then we made a ghost craft.

Allatoona Pass

On Sunday after church, we went to Allatoona Pass Battlefield.

We walked to the lake and threw rocks in the water.  We were getting some pretty good wind due to Hurricane Sandy, so it was a bit chilly.

I found a big rock for Uncle Andy to throw in.

 

Mom loves the pass.  It is her favorite place to go in Georgia.  However, it isn't mine.  I call the pass the spooky forest and always need to be talked into going.

 

Kennesaw Mtn and Confederate Cemetery

 On Saturday we went to Kennesaw Mountain Battlefield.

 

 

 

 The highlight of this outing was running around in the leaves for ten minutes.

 Next we stopped by the Marietta Confederate Cemetery.

 

 

 

 

 

 

It was Ashley's first time here.
