Jim's birthday

We've been pretty busy the last month, and I have lots to catch up on.  Jim's birthday was near the end of January, and we went to Lonzerotti's to celebrate.

Ainsley had to brush Lily's hair before we left

 The girls were really good while we were ate, and made us think that we may actually be able to venture out more with both of them.  I think it helped that Drake and Lani kept Ainsley's attention, and there were plenty of people to hold Lily.

Ainsley enjoyed Papa Jim's birthday, because she knew it was the last one before hers. 

I think Lily had a little too much chocolate cake that night.  She was up for a few hours crying that night.  We're not planning on giving her cake again any time soon, although she loved it!!!

Joel and I dropped the girls off at Jeremy and Kathleen's the next afternoon so we could run over to the chili cookoff in Winchester for a little bit.  Joel had to go cast his vote for Ken's chili, and have a few beers. 

The girls had fun at Aunt Kathleen's, and Ainsley and Lani actually got along.  Ainsley's starting to like Lani, or Lambie, as she calls her, more and more.  She went through a phase where she didn't want Lani near her!  Jack got his crab out to show Ainsley.  She didn't want to get too close to it!



I think Jack's wondering what he's gotten himself into!

It had warmed up that weekend, and Ainsley was able to go outside and ride her bike.  Lily sat at the door and watched her.  Of course, Ainsley had to keep going by the front door, as if to torture Lily since she couldn't go outside!
