I am Thankful

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving in Savannah with my family.  We had family members there that I had not seen in years.  It was a wonderful, relaxing weekend!  I am so thankful!

The girls with my dear Grandmother and Aunt Mary Lyle. 
Two of my most very favorite people!

Ann Charlotte and Gracie.  She wanted to do everything she did.  Can you tell?

She is a great little fundraiser! 

Daddy's Girl

It's official, Ann Charlotte has become infatuated with her "prince charming" as she calls him.  Of course she has him wrapped around her little fingers too!  Today at lunch she said, "Mommy, you sit over there, I am sitting next to daddy because I LOVE him!" 

She Can't Get Enough

Books and puzzles!  Ann Charlotte "reads" books 20 hours a day (it seems) and wants to work her puzzles the other 4 hours!   She walks into school, checks in and goes directly to the reading center.  She comes home and picks out her books and then wants to work puzzles.  She is actually getting really good at the puzzles-some of them have over 40 pieces and take Trey and I several minutes to work.  It is so fun watching her little personality grow!
Here are some shots of her in action:

This weekend with friends: Note Ann Charlotte, sitting on a stool in the background reading.  The chaos didn't phase her.  She kept on reading her book!

Ann Charlotte's Words of Wisdom...

On our way to meet my parents half way in Walnut, MS:Ann Charlotte:  Mommy, are we almost to peanut?

Mommy:  What honey?  Peanuts?  I don't have any peanuts we can get some when we stop.  Are you hungry?

Ann Charlotte:  No Mommy, are we almost to meet Acey in "peanuts" (aka "Walnut")?  

At least she knows her nuts!

Playing Candyland:
Ann Charlotte:  Daddy, you need to go faster!  You are going too slow! 

As she is winning the game!
On our way to school:
Mommy:  Ann Charlotte, Thanksgiving is next week.  Thanksgiving is when we talk about what we are thankful for.  What are some things you are thankful for?

Ann Charlotte:  Hmmmm,   Jesus, Santa Claus and God.

There you have it!  They are all pretty important to a 3 year old!
