North Pole Express

We had such a fun day at the North Pole Express last Saturday! We met Laura, her girls, and her parents there on Friday. We had dinner and stayed in a hotel which the girls loved! They made tents, cuddled in the bed, rode the elevator up and down, and played lots. Saturday, we drove to Calera to board the North Pole Express and meet Santa. Emerson loved the train and looked out the window and pointed at everything. Anne Bailey liked the train but was really interested in seeing Santa. She told Ruff that she did not want to "hold Santa" and that she wanted Ruff to tell her what she wanted for Christmas. Once Santa got to us she immediately reached for him, gave him a hug and started whispering in his ear. She told him she wanted a car and a microphone. Emerson wanted nothing to do with Santa and would not go near him so we settled for a family pic.

Our New Elf

Look who was hanging out in our tree when we woke up Sunday morning. This is our new elf who Anne Bailey named Christmas Tree! She brought the girls a fun book and coloring book as a present. We are looking forward to having lots of fun with Christmas Tree elf.

O Christmas Tree

We had fun picking out our Christmas tree on Saturday. We found the perfect tree and couldn't wait to decorate it. The girls both picked out a new ornament to put on the tree. We love Christmas time!!

Thanksgiving 2013

We had a great Thanksgiving this year! We have so much to be thankful for!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Disney On Ice

Last Sunday, Anne Bailey and I met her sweet friend, Mary Tannler and her mom at Disney On Ice. To say Anne Bailey was excited is an understatement! She was so excited though I am sure she had no idea what we were about to see. We had so much fun seeing all of her favorite princesses. Ariel is her favorite for sure but Cinderella is a close second. Anne Bailey had a great time waving, singing, and talking. I had a great day with my little princess!!

FUMC Thanksgiving Program

Last Thursday night was Anne Bailey's fall program at school. The 3 year olds were Pilgrims this year. Anne Bailey was so excited and practiced her songs for weeks. Once she got on stage, I don't think she sang one word. She pointed to us and waved and talked to her friend Zola the whole time! She still did great and looked adorable dressed as a little Pilgrim. We are so proud of our little performer!

Anne Bailey's School Thanksgiving Party

Anne Bailey had a fun Charlie Brown Thanksgiving Party at school. They dressed up in their Pilgrim wear and ate popcorn, sandwiches, marshmallows and fruit! I love visiting her class and seeing her play with her sweet friends.

Fun with Lilly Cate

A couple weeks ago, Lilly Cate came over to play when they were in town visiting. Her and Anne Bailey have so much fun together! They had a blast dressing up as princesses and playing sleepover. Emerson followed them around trying to do everything they were doing! I am so glad they are such sweet friends!
