Ayla Blair & Jasper Paul: Celebrating Kinsley's 4th Birthday

How in the world is she ALREADY 4? It's crazy how fast time goes by. This trip was a pretty quick one. We had Ayla's swim class Saturday morning, and as soon as she finished, we hopped in the car and booked it right down to Salem. We hung out with friends and family at Kinsley's house and celebrated with her in all her glory. We ate cake, drank drinks, watched her open gifts, and enjoyed watching the kids play in the Ginormous Princess Bounce House....well, we all watched except for Blair. ;-) It was fun to just get together to laugh and relax for a bit (I'm sure Lesley didn't get to relax much though - the host never does).
After the party, we went back to Nini and Pappaw's house. Ayla refused a nap for the day, and she did great playing with Macy and just hanging out. Later that evening, Craig, Lesley, and KK came over and we at yummy lasagna for dinner. Afterward, Kinsley helped me give Ayla a bath and then the girls danced to music.
Church was on Sunday. Ayla and I went down to the kids' Sunday School room in the basement. This is the 2nd time we've gone down there. She really seems to like it! Miss Marcella is a natural. I told her that she should have been a teacher at some point in her career.
Ayla took a super long nap when we got home and Nini and I Christmas shopped online. We finally had to wake up Miss Thang so that we could get home in time to do "Whole Chicken Sunday" and watch The Walking Dead with Fancy, Grand Dude, and Dean. I'm so glad Dean came over to eat. Kim is in Nicaragua right now with their new little adopted girl named Vivi. She should be home before Christmas with her, but until then, someone has got to feed the boy at least once a week! :-)
