Wrapping up 2014

Christmas with the Harbisons

We started celebrating early so this was the first Christmas that we had. 

Ellie remembered the whole gift thing from last year but Annie was a little slow to catch on but once she did she was hooked and wanted to open them all.

Ellie and her Harbison cousins.

Annie always opts out of these pictures 

Trying to get a cheese...

Trussville Christmas Parade.

We walked down to it. It was really much colder than I thought it was going to be so we didn't stick around long afterwards.

Our newest tradition is Briarwood live nativity. 

We went last year and really enjoyed it.

This year we skipped a  few of the scenes but the girls had no idea and we still had just as much fun. 

Little did we know that Annie had the flu... I knew she had a bad cough but didn't know until I took her to the doctor the next day she was positive for the flu... Poor second baby.

Ellie's school program. 

She looks so big and grown p no you can't see it from this picture but she is wearing SOCKS and shoes which is a huge deal for her. I cannot believe this is her last year in preschool and next year she will be in kindergarten :( talk about one sad mommy 

Disney!!!

We finally made it!

The girls did great on the flight and were so excited to get there!

There were very patient with there mommy and all my picture taking :)

It was the time of the year everybody wanted to be down there. That place was packed! We were able to do and see just about everything that we wanted to. I am sure that there is much more that we don't know about but I'm ok with that :) 

Out of all the princesses we met I think the favorites were rapunzel, Elsa,anna and Ariel. 

Now after going Annie has become a HUGE rapunzel fan and loves wearing her rapunzel dress and shoes and hat and anything else rapunzel she can find.

We loved being down there and Ellie already wants to know know when we are going back. She loved meeting the characters but I think she loved the rides more. Her favorite was Tower of Terror and to all that know her that is no surprise 

Christmas inStarkville

This is such a fun special time for us. 

We get to spend Christmas eve and part of Christmas morning with our family at my grandparents house in Mississippi. We have been doing this since I was little. I don't know how much longer we will be able,to do this but I know that I will always remember it and have a special  memory of it in my heart

Christmas at Awmaw and Papaws 

Ellie was so happy to see Maggie after missing her while we were in Disney 

Christmas with Grumps and Ann

The dreaded week between Christ as and new year. Trying to stay warm with fires and keep our tummys happy with s'mores. 

New Years Eve ...

Probably not the best idea...

But they really loved the sparklers....

I would say it has been a pretty good year...
