A Year in Holiday Style

Anne Ainsley was born on Oct. 3rd, just in time for some holiday fun. As the year continues, more and more holidays keep Anne decked in cute outfits. Anne's first year of holidays has started off with a bang. I can't seem to decide on outfits, so she usually gets two or three (or more). We hope this makes your holiday brighter!

HALLOWEEN

Anne's first holiday was, of course, Halloween. We had some trouble deciding between costumes. I went shopping on Oct. 30th and found a pumpkin costume at Kmart and a Peapod costume at Meijer. I couldn't decide so I got both and tried them on first. I got Anne in the Pumpkin one, took her picture, and then decided it was too big. I then put on the Peapod. By this time, she was not excited about putting on costumes anymore. She wasn't all that pleased in the pictures. For the big day, Anne and I went to Grandma and Grandpa's house in Hudson to pass out candy (we only get about 5 kids at our house). It was a beautiful day and we sat outside in the porch and watched the trick-or-treaters. Anne received many complements on her adorableness. Dad came over when he was finished working; Grandma and Grandpa came home, and we all had dinner. Everyone took turns posing for pictures with Annie-Peapod. I returned the pumpkin costume on Nov. 1st! Amen to Kmart!

Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving was Annie's second holiday. We went to Grandma's again. The Gregory family gets together on Thanksgiving. Aunt Sharon & Uncle Dave, Mike & Jenny + Will, Lauren, and Rachel, Jason & Jennifer + Allison and Nick, Uncle Mike & Aunt Bobbie, and Annie's Uncle Scott were all in attendance. We played pool, ate turkey, watched football, and visited with all the fam. It was a nice afternoon. Anne had a really cute "Baby's First Thanksgiving" outfit, but when she spit up on it, she had to put on the beautiful dress I had brought.
