This morning, we had to get ready for our open house, get ready for photos with Santa and get ready to leave for Miami! You wanted me to paint your nails to match mine…red with Christmas trees, so I gave it a try! They were so cute!
We had a Santa experience photoshoot this morning and you got to write your letter to Santa and watch Frozen II while we waited for our turn. Daddy helped you with your letter and you threw me a few curveballs by adding some new things you hadn’t asked for before, like a toy sleigh, a snowflake toy and a Christmas tree toy. Then you said “you can tell the rest, I’m worried about the movie.” lol. During the shoot you got to make cookies with Santa, eat the cookies and you were so excited that you got a candy cane. I never actually let you eat one before and you were very excited to try it.
As soon as we left, you fell asleep in the car. We headed straight to Miami. We still are not sure if our passport appointment will be cancelled because of the storm (Hurricane Eta has had a crazy path and it’s still not certain if it will affect Miami). The drive was not bad, just light rain the whole way. You missed it because you slept 2.5 hours!
When we got to the hotel, you were excited to see our room and play. The wind and rain had really picked up. Daddy somehow got the window to open & you two were storm chasing from our room lol! We had dinner at the hotel so we didn’t have to contend with the weather. You changed into another dress & changed from Anna to Elsa braids a hundred times before dinner lol.
Face First Into Chocolate Ice Cream! 
After dinner, the rain had stopped again, so we walked around the property to check it out. It was so pretty. The Biltmore Coral Gables has a 600,000 sq ft pool, which is one of the main reasons I booked it. Unfortunately, the weather didn’t permit us to swim! We headed back up to the room to play.
Of course, you stayed up a little later than usual because of your long nap. You & I headed to bed to snuggle and you told me “you don’t have to sleep with me Mama. You can sleep in your bed because it’s right there.” I asked if you were telling me to change beds. You said “no, you can stay here if you want. I’m just saying that you CAN go to your bed because I’m 4.” Good to know sweet girl. I told you I prefer to snuggle with you. You were out in no time.
I love you so much!!!!
