Visitor

We had a visitor come stay with us this week - Ginger came all the way from Michigan for a class project of Shaelyn's - Ginger was sent to learn about a different part of the country! She was such a joy to have - She was quiet and cute - we took her to Abby and Reese's house and they all got along so well - we are sad to send her home but we must - here are a few things they did while she was here!


















She didn't even wake Annie up!

















Ready to ride the roller coaster!
















Snack and Crafts

















Barbie Jeep Rides!

















Playin in the stuffed toys!















Ginger tried on a cute dress and a bow!

Christmas Pictures!

Super Fun Sunday!

First we went to visit with Emily and Kalie - they live in DC so we don't get to visit often - Emily is one of Annie's Godmothers - We miss them because they are so far but love to see them - Kalie is getting sooooo big!















I don't know how y'all do it - but this is how we roll - our santa shows up in the back of a Southern Chariot - THE PICKUP TRUCK!


















Annie telling Santa ALL the things she wants for CHRISTmas!














Some of the girls!















Abby LOVED the hay - she would jump and laugh!















When I told that Reeser to smile she moved the candy cane out of the way and hammed it up! Isn't she just the cutest????

Holiday House Tour

Come on in!













Welcome to Casa de Bailey!














The fireplace I have only used once (and that's because someone else turned it on at a party - I don't know how but it's pretty!)


















A place for all my goodies (and the corner I use to store everything)













Who doesn't like a feather lampshade???














I LOVE a reindeer - and yes this was suppose to be my living room but my furniture didn't fit when it got here so - dining room it is!














So this is where we moved it -
















It fit and















it's closer to the kitchen! hehehehe














My cute kitchen the PERFECT size for me - since I am never in it - it's not tooo far to the other side of the house!



















The cute little built in - the perfect desk but you can't fit a chair and walk through the hall - hahhahaha!




















Annie's Bathroom















Yes - it's a monogrammed shower curtain - I LOVE her monogram
I had narrowed it down to 3 names and had the monograms done - that was the prettiest one! (ask Les - that' s not a joke)



















Annie's Room - I would put her school stuff on there but then there would be pin holes in it - I am going to load it up with pictures of her precious priends!
















I am going to have to move the bed out if she gets any more toys!














The ONE good thing about an all girl house is that EVERYTHING can be pink and green!


















Pantry - you have to be creative when you have limited space!





















Momma's bathroom - it's an add on to the back of the house so I have a big closet to but that's too messy to show!



I hope you have enjoyed your tour - Annie's bedroom doubles as the guest room for those of you who want to come visit and if more than one of you comes the couch is the other guest room - and YES my house is always that clean - I am a little overboard but as the gang can attest you never know who or when someone is going to
show up for a visit!

MERRY CHRISTMAS FROM OUR HOUSE TO YOURS!!!

LOTS OF LOVE - DENA AND ANNIE

Wedding Wordless Wednesday

My cousin and his cute wife
Shaun and Angela

Matt's (the groom) roommate was the Tiger cub at school!










Who doesn't love a man that will dance with with a sweet girl!
