Christmas morning

Juliette ran into our room at 7:30 screaming He Came!! She loved all her presents and should have been filmed shouting about everything- it could have been a commercial for Target. Almost everything she opened she screamed Hey I saw this at Target!
 
 


 
She must have been a very good girl this year!


 
She was so excited to get the Raven doll from Ever After High that she said well I asked for Apple, but I really wanted Raven.



 
Then she got a double surprise when she opened the next box and it was the Apple White doll!





 
Last but not least was the much asked for Dancing Pumpkin doll.


 
She HAD to put on her Elsa shoes and jewelry. The dress came on later in the morning.




 
Happy girl


Christmas Eve

We had a very fun Christmas Eve even though we weren't in PA doing our normal traditional night. The Quanns came over and Juliette had a great time playing with Emmi. After they left we set out our milk and cookies and even left out some reindeer feed and glitter so they knew where it was safe to land. We were putting Juliette to bed and heard those jingle bells and she screamed for everyone to go to bed!




 
Getting into our matching aprons :)












Christmas Town

We met up with the Chris and Kelley at Busch Garden's Christmas Town festival on Sunday. I don't know what I was expecting exactly, but I wasn't impressed. I haven't been to the park since I was 9 so I only remember bits and pieces and certain rides. But we went for the Christmas lights and the shows. We got to see Scrooge No More and Juliette covered her eyes for the ghost parts- I don't blame her. But overall she liked the show. I was told we had to see the penguin exhibit and I was excited to see it, but there were literally 6 penguins behind glass just standing there. Not impressed. When we finally managed to meet up with our friends, we were starving and searching for a place to eat. That place is huge and has maybe 3 places to eat. Now if you want a drink well you can get beer or wine every 5 feet! Needless to say we won't be going back unless we get free tickets or something. Yes there were some beautiful lights, but not enough to freeze by buns off again.

Riding the peppermint twist



 
Juliette's favorite part I think was cuddling up with Eddie in the stroller under all those blankets!
