Winter School Pictures...

It's time to play catch-up on Addi Kate's blog! We've been busy preparing for Christmas, that I've slacked on making posts. But...I wanted the first post of December to be her Winter school pictures. They turned out great...and Addison is growing up SO FAST!

I am really surprised that her hair has stayed blonde for so long. Both Mommy and Daddy's hair turned brown a lot sooner. I hope this means that pretty blonde hair is going to stick around :)

This picture is probably my favorite of them all. Those hands on her hips definitely show her sassy personality.

And that bracelet! I didn't even know that she wore it to school!

Addison is definitely our best gift EVER! 

Texas Friends and Cousins...

The day after Thanksgiving we traveled to Houston to visit more family friends, Candy and Robert. We loved their new house and Addi gave their backyard two thumbs up!

 Aunt Tedra met us over at Candy and Robert's and we all went out to lunch together...at good ole Casa Ole'!!!! 

We then headed over to our Aunt and Uncle's house for the next two nights. Addi had blast with her Texas cousins.

These girls colored, played with sidewalk chalk, made pretend pizzas out of playdoh and OH SO MUCH MORE!

They even said a special prayer before dinner...

The next day the girls posed for this sweet picture before we headed back to Florida...

They had SUCH a good time, so much so that we found three stowaways in our car as we tried to leave!!

We are definitely looking forward to a visit from these girls in 2018!

Thanksgiving Day 2017...

One of my favorite things about Thanksgiving is definitely the food :) But nothing beats Memaw's dressing. So we got up early and started cooking our Thanksgiving Day Feast!

We also might have had a little fun with SnapChat filters :)

And we also had a mini photoshoot in Memaw's yard before dinner...

Daddy picked up some face stickers from the store...can you tell????

We also had a special visit from Aunt Tedra...

Knight Family of THREE...

We also got to meet another new baby, our little cousin Mace. He and Addison had a musical parade with pot lids and spatulas and of course a dance party too!

It was definitely a blessed Thanksgiving with good food and special memories made with family.

Texas Bound...

We woke up early after having a great time in Louisiana, and finished our last leg of our Texas trip. We were very excited to see Memaw and had a great time at her house. Addi Kate made herself right at home and played out on the porch, riding Lucky the horse.

Jilly, Addi and I made a special visit to one of my mom's oldest and dearest friends, Pam. She didn't know we were traveling to Texas and literally just showed up at her front door for a quick visit.

That evening we ordered pizza and hung out with Uncle Jeff and Uncle Andre.

We had a great first night and couldn't wait to have our Thanksgiving feast the next day. But wait, check out this sassy little girl...

She definitely keeps us laughing!!!! 

New Friend...

We took a rode trip to Texas for Thanksgiving this year. Luckily we were able to stop half way in Lousiana to visit with our friends, the Provitolas. We were also excited to meet the newest addition to their family, Baby Magnus.

Such a sweet little baby. He's SO loved, especially by these three...

Our Destin trip next year will look a little different with a little baby,  but nothing will stop these three silly kids.

Come on Destin 2018!!!

Shrek Jr. and Princess Fiona...

My school puts on a fall musical each school year and this year they chose Shrek Jr. We have taken Addison the past three years to see the musicals because they have all been age appropriate for her. The first year was the Lion King and last year was Yo Vikings. As expected, she was pretty excited to see Shrek Jr.

But what made this year's musical even more special was a surprise that my Technical Theatre teacher made for her. After creating all the costumes for the cast, she discovered that she had some left over material from Fiona's dress. So when I came back to my office after a long day of teacher observations, I found the cutest mini-Fiona dress and ears in my office. 

We didn't have enough time to try the dress on before the performance, but she loved the Fiona headband! 

But the next day, we had a Princess Fiona Day!!!

She can definitely be an ogre some times, but she's the prettiest little ogre I've ever laid eyes on :)

Addi and Mommy...

Daddy went out of town for almost a week, so Addi and I got to spend some much needed girl time together. So of course, what did we do first? Mani and pedi time!!!

She insisted on the blue and purple combo :)

We also had a lot of fun playing with  SnapChat filters...

One thing is for sure, this little girl keeps me smiling!
