Christmas 2016

Ready for the magical Christmas season...



This year the Holiday Husky met an untimely death, after a passerby tackled him. Our dear neighbors, Sheila and Terri, surprised us and the kids by ordering a new husky just in time for Christmas. The kids were SO happy!

Ainsley's Birthday Party

Ainsley turned 10 years old!

On her actual birthday she was at a soccer tournament, so we did her party the following week. She and her friend Nia combined parties, at Stars and Strikes in Stone Mountain. Bowling, laser tag, bumper cars, and arcade games!
