Christmas Day 2019...

Santa came to Jacksonville!

This year he brought Addison a music stand, a two-wheel scooter, softball glove, basketball, and a gym mat! 

And her stocking was filled with doll clothes!

Someone was super happy when she woke up!

Later that afternoon, we visited PonderVille. My pretty girl! 

And boy did Jilly and Pops have a surprise waiting for this little girl...

Her very own dollhouse! 

I see lots of playing for the next week of Christmas break!

Christmas Eve 2019...

We had our traditional Christmas Eve celebration at D-ma's house this year.  Addi and I have matching aprons, so we had to take a quick photo after we created our cheese and cracker tray.

And just like last year, Addison's face as she opened her gifts was absolutely priceless! 

And we had to get a picture of all of us in our matching Christmas leggings!

Can't wait for Santa to come tonight!

2019 Tree Canvases...

Missy always brings our family a set of Small Words Art Tree Canvases to decorate each year. 

The kits come with a tree canvases and baggie filled with decorations.

It's always fun to see what creative way Addison chooses to decorate her tree each year.

She so serious and concentrates really hard when she's decorating.

And here is the final product...

Can you guess who decorated each tree????

School Christmas Party...

I love seeing pictures of Addison at school. She really adores school and by looking at these pictures, you can tell that she is so happy when she's with her classmates. These photos are from her school Christmas Party this year.

This is her entire 1st grade class and her teacher, Ms. Jackson.

I love the fireplace scene :)

Sweet girl posing!

But aren't the outtakes the BEST pictures!

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!
