Happy Halloween!

We had a Great Halloween this year. Addi got to trick or treat on our Cruise and they did a Trunk or Treat in Jacksonville with the Call's and then we ended at the Annual Rollins Halloween festival with trick or treating down Park Ave. We had a Halloween Party at our friends the Alley's and then the Annual Fried Doughnuts and Charlie Brown Movie in our friends the Water's Lawn!! We had lots of festivities all before Halloween even started!! By the time Halloween came around we loved just sitting out on the Lawn (it was the first semi cool night in a long time) handing out candy to the trick or treaters, in fact Addi was chasing them down the street to give them candy, she loved passing out candy!!

Trunk or treat with Shaefer, he was one cute Yoda!!

Rollins Festival with Milo!!
Ian was so great to come over one night when we had the most beautiful sunset and take some adorable pictures of the girls in their Halloween costumes!!












Hope you all had as fun of a Halloween as we did!!!

You've had a Birthday!!

My little girl has turned the big 4, she is getting to be such a big girl and a big helper, and a very appreciative little girl! She was so thankful for all of her presents and kept saying, "oh my gosh, Grandma spoiled me!!" Which they both did, they gave her so many presents, that I think she should be set for toys for life!! She loved her presents and she was able to have a little Tea Party with a couple of her Best Friends!! It was like a dream come true to her she kept telling me "this is the best Birthday ever!" She wanted to dress up in her new Belle Dress and she wanted her hair just like Belle's, which we tried but this was as good as we got!!

I made lots of little treats and bought them feather boas, and then I left them alone (after a few pictures) to have their own little tea party and they thought they were royalty!!







It was a Great Birthday, Thank you all for the wonderful gifts, she is one loved little girl!!

Oh what a Cruise!!

We just got home from our first ever Disney Cruise, oh the fun we had, this was my fourth cruise and I have always said that all cruise lines are created equal.......man do I have to eat my words!! Disney knows how to entertain!!! We had a blast, Addi was on overload the entire time, she couldn't stop saying "oh my gosh, I'm sooo excited" for everything we did. We feel so blessed that we got to go and do this, it was amazing!! We started our cruise by checking in.......
