Addi Kate was super proud of her work!!!!

Our 2018 Christmas Card...

We had a little photoshoot at PonderVille this year for our 2018 Christmas Card and I think it turned out perfect!

2018 Christmas Tree...

We took Addison to pick out our 2018 Christmas Tree. We go to the same place each year and Addi enjoys running around the tree farm, dancing to the Christmas music, and playing in the lights while we wait for them to prepare our tree.  Here she is at the tree farm...


We came home and got to work putting our tree up...



We had to take a pic of our tree with the first fire of the season...


And this is by far, is my favorite view of the tree :)

Nutcracker 2018...

Jilly and I took Addison to see the First Coast Nutcracker this year. It was as beautiful as ever! 

Missy started our day off with a little Nutcracker surprise...


Interesting story...on our way to the performance, just as we pulled up to the theatre, Addison got sick. Like sick ALL OVER HERSELF AND ALL OVER THE CAR!! Luckily we were at least an hour early, so we literally turned around, went back home, changed and came back :)

Addi was perfect after that!!! 



What I loved about this year's Nutcracker is that Addison watched the entire thing! She didn't fidget, didn't get bored, but sat and watched every performance.


So fun!

Disney Christmas with the Tiptons...

We went back to Disney for Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Edition. Like last year, we took the trip with our friends the Tiptons. The girls had a blast...ate sugar cookies, rode rides, laughed, and just had a blast!


This year we all rode together...


So we were 8 deep in the Pathfinder!!




The parade at the end of the night is always the best part...especially with the snow. We had great seats this year and could see one of Addison's favorite princess up close...Cinderella!


Merry Christmas!

Missy Mistletoe (2018 Edition)...

Our elf, Missy Mistletoe, came back a little early this year. Addi Kate lost her FOURTH tooth, so Missy decided to help the Tooth Fairy take her took back to Fairy Land.




Missy had a few repeats this year like bringing our annual Christmas Tree canvases and dressing up like Elsa, but she also had some fun new ideas.



Missy's Barbie was one of Addison's favorites this year. She couldn't believe that Missy likes Barbies too!

Missy's peppermint "toots" had Addison laughing and laughing and laughing!


As much as Addi likes SnapChat, she didn't seem to think Missy's Instagram post was all that great :(



Addi was glad to see that Missy brought Ramsey the Reindeer back to play with her.



Missy's sleeping bag and teddy bear were great...especially since Missy showed up in Addison's room that morning. 




Missy and Ramsey playing Twister absolutely tickled Addi Kate!!!!



Missy's new violin was one of my favorites!






Missy did a lot of traveling this year too. She followed us to Georgia and to Texas this year.




The night before Christmas Eve, Missy brought Addison some Christmas pajamas.


We think Missy was homesick this year because on the last day she brought some snow back from the North Pole with her. I guess Florida is a little to hot for Missy.


See you next year Missy Mistletoe!
