Friendships

This evening we had our friends Ron and Kelly over for dinner. Their children, McKane and Riese, are some of Ansley's favorite playmates! This past week they were out of town, and EVERY morning and afternoon, Ansley would say "Kane and Riesie home Mommy?" and I'd respond "soon sweetie." But not soon enough for Ansley! Thankfully, they are home, and Ansley couldn't be happier! They had such a fun time together - dancing, laughing, playing, and w earing each other out! When we tur ned on "Jingle Bell Rock" they were all dancing around the room - it was quite a sight! At the end of the evening, we got them all to sit on the fireplace for a photo together. It was quite an entertaining photo shoot to get three toddlers sitting and being still and smiling all at the same time. Here's the best we could do (but don't worry, there were brownie rewards afterwards!). It is so sweet to see Ansley play and have such a good time with these two friends. It's fun to see her start to develop the idea of having friends, learn how to treat friends (well, ok, still learning), and how to play with them. It will be so fun to see these friendships develop over the years! I couldn't resist this photo of Riese and Ansley hugging. So sweet!

We hope you are all having a wonderful weekend enjoying what makes you happy!
