Mattie getting her PJ's on at night is similar to lassoing a wild animal! She had her PJ bottoms on her head and we thought she looked like Jack Sparrow in Pirates of the Caribbean (yes, you will need your imagination!).
All Mattie needs is a ship, crew and bird and she'll be all set!
Alyssa just graduated so we had fun celebrating her big day together!
This was Mattie's 6th trip to Disney. I know you're thinking we must live in Florida...NOPE! We are simply "wannabe's", which means, we wannabe in FL but we are not even close.
When I meet Jesus at the pearly gates I am prepared to say "remember when Mattie was 10mo old and she learned the sign for Jesus, 1 full week before she made the sign for Mickey Mouse?" Not that I'm trying to earn favor at the last minute...that's not possible...it's going to be my biggest THANK YOU! I have learned that most parents (including me) feel like we are falling short every day. Seriously. How many days do you lay down at night and say to yourself, "I am so awesome! I should get some kind of reward for my awesomeness!". Truth is, that is just not what we lay there and think. Many days at our house I see more Mickey Mousing around than I hoped for. And when I realized that she made the sign for Jesus before Mickey Mouse, my first thought was "at least I got something right!". But after 6 trips to Disney - I now believe this happened only by the grace of God!
We got to see Mattie's cousin while we were in Florida...getting both of the girls to look at the camera and smile at the same time - HAHAHA - that's so funny hunny....
Baba and Mattie
We had a great time...seen lots of people we know and love. I am so ready to go back! OH WAIT - we just got home! Shoot.
Me and my Gramps
1 more Big Huge Mattie smile...
You are the sunshine of my life and the apple of my eye, sweet baby girl.
