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!!
