(Sitting at the dinner table with Ally)
Ally - Ashlyn, do you know what 1 + 1 equals?
A - Chick-Fil-A!
Haha...she may have a way with words, but her math skills are definitely lacking!

Ice Tag
Thanksgiving brought the opportunity to spend time with family that we rarely get to see. Ashlyn enjoyed playing/learning new games with her cousins.
A - Hey Ally, you want to play that ice game with me?
Ally - Huh, Ashlyn? What are you saying?
A - You know, that game of ice.
M - Ashlyn, are you talking about "freeze tag"?
A - Yeah! Ally, you want to play ice tag?
A - Hey Ally, you want to play that ice game with me?
Ally - Huh, Ashlyn? What are you saying?
A - You know, that game of ice.
M - Ashlyn, are you talking about "freeze tag"?
A - Yeah! Ally, you want to play ice tag?
Anxious for an invite
A - Mommy, what kind of birthday party do you think Jesus has in Heaven?
M - I really couldn't say, Ashlyn.
A - I am just so nervous.
M - Nervous? What do you mean?
A - I'm so nervous that I won't get invited to His party!
M - I really couldn't say, Ashlyn.
A - I am just so nervous.
M - Nervous? What do you mean?
A - I'm so nervous that I won't get invited to His party!
Our favorite colors
Ashlyn praying about going to Heaven
A - God, I would really like it if you could make my bed pink. Maybe even make my blanket on the bed pink. Oh, and for Mommy, could you give her a red bed? She just LOVES the color red! And for Daddy, could you make his bed green? (Pause)....Yeah, I know that they are supposed to sleep in the same bed, but just this once, could you make them two different beds so they can both have their favorite colors?
Haha...I guess God must have "reminded" her in the middle of her prayer that we share a bed :)

Feeling left out
Matt stayed with the girls while I went to a small group. Matt was singing to Addelyn-Kate while Ashlyn sat close by and listened.
Matt (singing) - "Hush, little baby, don't say a word,
Daddy's going to buy you a mockingbird.
If that mockingbird won't sing,
Daddy's going to buy you a diamond ring.
If that diamond ring turns brass,
Daddy's going to buy you a looking glass.
If that looking glass gets broke,
Daddy's going to buy you a billy goat.
(Ashlyn jabs Matt in the back to interrupt his singing)
Ashlyn - Well Daddy, what's left to buy for me?
Matt (singing) - "Hush, little baby, don't say a word,
Daddy's going to buy you a mockingbird.
If that mockingbird won't sing,
Daddy's going to buy you a diamond ring.

Bethlehem
(Discussing the Christmas story)
A - Momma, how could Mary have a baby when she wasn't married to Joseph?
M - Well...that was God's plan for her.
A - That is not right to have a baby before you get married. Was God mad at Mary?
M - No. He wasn't mad because he was the one who allowed her to have Jesus.
A - Momma? Does God make all girls who are having a baby travel to Bethlehem if they aren't married?
A - Momma, how could Mary have a baby when she wasn't married to Joseph?
M - Well...that was God's plan for her.
