I thought about making this post about numbers...you know...
4 - My big girl's age
1 - My baby's first birthday
8 - How many years Aaron and I have been married
Alas, I decided a year in pictures would be more sentimental! I have loved going back through the pictures of 2010. There have been so many "firsts" to document. Starting with January...
January
Ainsley's first snow fall.
Leighton's first pair of earrings!!! What a big girl she was. We had talked about getting her ears pierced several times but when I told her it would hurt and she would hear a loud noise she always opted out. I picked her up from the sitter one day and she told me she was ready. She wanted her ears pierced and that very day. She shed a few tears but nothing a lollipop didn't stop!
February
This month was filled with more snow (and ice) which allowed lots of cuddle time with mom and dad.
Oh, and playing in the snow!! :)
March
Ainsley started pulling up...
On everything! Uh oh, we would soon be in trouble.
And my precious Leighton Caroline turned 4!!!! What a big girl. It is hard to believe she is already 4. Where has the time gone?!
She had her party at Pump-It-Up and loved every second of it!
April
Ainsley had her first Easter.
And her first black eye.
And her first experience in a sprinkler.
May
On Mother's Day Ainsley started walking. It was the best present I could have ever asked for!
Ainsley got to swim in the lake for the first time.
Leighton got to fish for the first time. It wasn't her cup of tea. It was too slow and she had to be quiet...something she isn't the best at, but hey, she comes by that naturally!
Leighton got to go tubing for the first time and she loved the thrill.
June
My sweet Ainsley Paige celebrated her FIRST birthday. Boy did she love her cake! She still loves sweets (that's my girl)!!
Aaron and I celebrated 8 years of marriage. I love him more today than ever. We have been in the valley and are enjoying some time on the mountain top. :)
Leighton had her first dance recital. She was beautiful. She loved every second of being on the stage.
July
Leighton was able to go to her first VBS. She loved going.
We had lots of family time with me not working.
Leighton got to go to her second Redbirds game with Aaron.
And she took her first swimming lessons. She rocked the pool! She can swim now!!!
August
School started back and we were all tired! We loved dressing up as cowgirls for "round-up" Sunday.
September
Ainsley learned to make the hippo face.
And "cheese" it up!
We watched lots of Sooner football!!
Went to Disney on Ice...
And Leighton played soccer for the first time!
It wasn't her favorite sport but she loved being with her friends.
October...
Ainsley perfected "the look."
The girls were able to trick-or-treat as a duo for the first time...Silver Mist and her trusty side kick Tinkerbell.
The girls and I spent lots of time together as Daddy worked at the "Haunt" for work.
November...
My sweet little turkey's couldn't wait for Thanksgiving!
And mommy couldn't wait to take lots of pictures with my new camera.
Aaron was so very thankful to have "his" family at Thanksgiving. It had been 6 years since he had been able to share Thanksgiving with any of his family.
Ainsley wanted to be like mommy and snap pictures, too.
Pop Pop enjoyed cuddling with his girls...
And Mem too.
December...
Leighton couldn't wait for Christmas but she was so patient and such a good girl.
This little devil however had her moments where she wasn't so good! ;)
May 2011 be more than we could ever dream...wishing you all the best!!
