Nutcracker

In early December Grandpa Homer and his "friend" MaryAnne invited Ainsley and Aunt Kaylie to the Nutcracker Ballet.  They came and picked her up from our house on Friday morning and she stayed the whole weekend, returning on Sunday night.

First they went to Kaylie's Christmas piano recital.

Then the ballet

On Saturday morning they went on a hike where they were rained out!

My dad's neighbors have a little girl who loves to play with the kids when we're visiting.  She calls them "Mr. Jeff's kids".  She invited Ainsley to her birthday party after Saturday afternoon.

By the way, these pics were all taken by Ainsley with her camera while she was gone:)
