Missy was back up to her morning surprises...

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?!?!?

Christmas Tree...

Addi Kate helped pick out our Christmas Tree this year. I must admit, it was probably one of the most PERFECT trees we've gotten so far. 

The place where we get our Christmas Tree each year takes your picture in front of the tree before they trim it. They also cut the bottom of the trunk, tie a string through it, and give it to the children. Addi likes to come home and decorate/color/paint the necklace. 

Here is our tree all decorated...Kadi Bell approves!

2019 Thanksgiving

I forgot to post a few pics from our 2019 Thanksgiving. We stayed in Florida this year and celebrated with D-ma and our Uncles. 

D-ma made this cool turkey cheese and cracker platter :)

SO thankful for this sweet girl!

These two played, stretched, ran, jumped, and had a great time together. 

Carving the turkey...

CHEESE!

Right before dinner....

We enjoyed our low-key Thanksgiving this year. We watched football, talked, watched the kids play, and just relaxed...good times.

When we got home, look who surprised us???

Welcome back, Missy Mistletoe!

2019 Christmas Card...

Here is our 2019 Christmas Card...

It was hard to pick out just a few, but we love how it turned out.

2019 Christmas Photos...

Addison's amazing Kindergarten teacher, Ms. Hirst, has taken up photography. So we had her take our family Christmas photos this year. She did a great job...AND had her first experience with a pet, since we brought Kadi Belle along for our photos.

These are the photos we didn't use for our Christmas Card so as you can see, she did an outstanding job.

I have no idea how any of these pictures turned out good because the winds were at least 30 miles an hour at the beach. 

This is one of my favorites...I love how the sun is shining on them :)

Kadi Belle did a good job too. Well...after she took off running in the water as soon as we got to the beach!

Smiles and laughs for DAYS!!

My favorite girl in the whole wide world!

Family...nothing better!
