Christmas Disney...

We took Addison on our annual Christmas Disney trip with the Tipton Family. This year we went a day early and enjoyed hanging out at our hotel for a day before taking on Disney.

We took a lot of comparison pics on this trip because it's been three years that we've taken this trip with the four girls. Starting with our car selfie.

These two have really grown up! Addison looks so tall and I can tell in this pic that she's thinned up this year ad is losing her baby fat :(

One of the fun things about Disney Christmas is that they pass out free cookies, pretzels, hot chocolate, and egg nog ALL NIGHT LONG! This is always our first stop for a cookie.

We got to see a few princesses this year and here is Addi Kate waiting to see Aurora and Snow White.

We also were able to see Jasmine and the Genie...the girls loved the new Disney Aladdin movie, so this was a perfect opportunity to meet the characters.

We FINALLY figured out how to work the Disney Parade and secured a seat on the curb ahead of time!

So we had a front row seat to see all the characters...Cinderella!

The Nutcrackers and the Reindeer are always my favorite...

But Santa always steals the show!

Ho ho ho!!!

Adventures of Missy...

Missy Mistletoe was back at it...

We have all been sick around our  house, so it was only fitting to find her in a Kleenex box one morning :(

It's too  cold to swim, so Missy took a float in the bathroom sink!

BOWLING!!

You are "our" sunshine!

Missy got a little confused and thought she was a watermelon!

Waking up to Missy playing cards with her friends was probably one of my favorite surprises this year! Love these little cards!

Then she decided to do a little bow rock climbing!

Baking Day!

Give Missy some kisses!

Celebrating the birth of Jesus!

We only have one more day with Missy before she goes back to the North Pole with Santa :(

2019 Nutcracker...

Jilly and I took Addison to see the First Coast Nutcracker again this year. I was concerned she might not be interested this year because she saw the Nutcracker THE SAME DAY on field trip with her school. But she watched the entire thing and was mesmerized by the performance.

Pre-Nutcracker pictures...

They have some pretty trees surrounded by nutcrackers, so we had to have our picture taken in front of one of the trees. 

We had the BEST seats this year and were super close to the stage. 

Merry Christmas!

More Missy...

Missy was back up to her morning surprises...

Ready for school with an Elf Fortune Teller...

Ordered an Elf pizza...

Doing a little Elf-ercise...

Ready for Taco Tuesday...

She though these little dog treats were cookies!!!!

She brought Addi our traditional tree kits to paint together...

Ready for the Nutcracker! 

The Polar Express...

Missy brought us a COOL surprise this year...tickets to the Polar Express!

Missy also brought our family matching pajamas (which was pretty hard convincing Daddy and Pops that they had to wear them too)!

We drove to Orlando where we had an opportunity to take a few pics before receiving our Polar Express golden boarding passes...

The train was amazing! We took pics with the conductor and the crew before boarding.

During the ride, we were served hot chocolate and cookies, just like the kids on the Polar Express movie. We were entertained by the crew dancing and singing Christmas songs.

But the best part was meeting the "real" Santa!

I am so glad we took this trip this year. Unfortunately, Addi wasn't convinced that we actually traveled to the North Pole. But she did believe Santa was the real one. 

2019 Missy Mistletoe...

Addison has enjoyed waking up each morning and looking for Missy. It is literally the FIRST thing she says every morning..."Wake up Mommy, let's go find Missy!" Here are a few of her surprises this year...

Playing in the marshmallows and made a "snowman"

Celebrated Kadi Belle's 1st birthday...

Brought back Ramsey the Reindeer...

Played with her Barbie...

Practiced her violin...

Ate Elf on the Shelf Sugar cookie cereal...

I wonder what else Missy will be up to this year?!?!?
