Dixie's POV:

It was my least favourite time of the year. Christmas. I used to love Christmas with my entire heart and soul when my parents were still alive. After they passed, I had to celebrate with my Grandparents, but it just wasn't the same. After I left them and lived on my own, I didn't even bother trying to celebrate.

Maybe it would be different this year? I mean, something that I've accepted is that God wanted to take my Parents back to their home with him, he knew that they loved each other so much that they couldn't be apart so they had to go together, leaving me and Jules, but then, me and Jules were together so we wouldn't be alone either.

God's sorry present to me was Noah, and Pressley, and reuniting with Jules again. I mean, if I'm being honest, this year didn't start off great at all, I met Noah in a rocky way. I thought he would be my worst enemy, but he turned out to be the person I couldn't live without, he gave me my beautiful Baby Girl, he gave me my dream of being a Mother turn into a reality. I loved him so much.

Noah had told me that every year, he had a Christmas Ball. It was a party where all of his Men/Workers could just relax and have fun and not work for a day. It was a time where everyone could come together and be in harmony, away from all of the dangerous Mafia Life.

Noah had chosen me a beautiful Ball Gown for me to wear, and then, after the Ball, the next day we were going on a big Getaway to London with a few close friends and we were going to stay in a Log Cabin!

When Noah told me that we were going to stay in a Log Cabin, I jumped up and down like a little kid, what can I say, I honestly wouldn't be surprised if I'm a five year old stuck in a thirteen year olds body.

I picked Pressley up, gave Noah a kiss and then went to our Glam Room. My makeup artist called Ariel (who was also one of my best friends) was the nicest person you could ever meet. He was insanely good at makeup and worked for Noah and I for nothing. Noah tried giving him payment but he simply refused.

I gave him a hug and put Pressley in a little swaddle chair to let her fall asleep. She was already getting so big and that made me sad because I knew she was growing up. That's honestly the worst thing about Parenthood, watching your little baby grow up.

Ariel did my makeup. I chose a Natural Glam look because, like I've said previous times before, I don't ever wear makeup, only skincare products and mascara, and so I knew my skin wouldn't react well to a total over the top look. Here's how the makeup looked:

I absolutely loved it and it didn't really look harsh in my opinion

I absolutely loved it and it didn't really look harsh in my opinion. Next up for my hair. I wanted something like a half up-half down design, but then I didn't want it to be so eye-catching because I wanted the focus to be my dress so in the end we decided on a half tied up look with the rest curled, here's how it looked:

Then for my favourite part, the dress! Noah had picked it out for me so I didn't know what it looked like, but he said that if I didn't like it then I could pick any other dress that I wanted. Ariel showed me it and I actually fell in love with it. My jaw fucking dropped.

Ariel helped me get in it and then I looked at myself in the mirror. I smiled. I actually felt beautiful. The dress was really big and you had to hold onto the sides of the skirts to make sure you didn't trip over, and they were quite heavy. Here's how it looked:

I told you it was beautiful

I told you it was beautiful. I put my arms gracefully on top of the skirts, feeling like a real Princess. Last but not least, my shoes. Noah had picked these out for me too but I knew what they looked like because he needed to make sure they fit. I put them on. Here's how they looked:

They weren't extremely high so I could still walk comfortably in them and the heels were also not that skinny, so I didn't trip over everywhere

They weren't extremely high so I could still walk comfortably in them and the heels were also not that skinny, so I didn't trip over everywhere. I didn't bother getting new acrylics seeing as how I had gotten my nails done already last week, here's how they looked:

Now they were extremely long, but don't worry I haven't went around poking Pressley and Noah in the eyes with them. I was actually really good at using acrylics which was a massive shock seeing as how I'm actually a really clumsy person.

I was ready! Next up was Pressley's outfit. I did want to put her in a dress but I knew she would just scream and kick me and it would not be a happy day, so I just put her in her comfort zone which was a cute white sweater with matching white pants a cute little white hat to keep her head warm, here's how it looked:
