A Wonderful Life


My friend Donna, Lexi, and I went Christmas shopping over the weekend. We ended up trolling around the Galleria area and stumbled upon an exquisite furniture show room. We walked in and were greeted by a nice man who explained where the coffee, tea, and cookies were located in the store in case we needed "an afternoon sugar treat." He also smiled as he asked about Lexi and then he asked me if I would like her picture taken with Santa. Of course I did, but I was not going to take her to a germy mall Santa. No need to fight the mall crowds either because there was a Santa right there in the show room! I sat Lexi on Santa's lap while she had her picture taken and played with his white beard. Donna and I believe he must have been the REAL Santa because this was not a typical place for a Santa to hang out. It was meant to be...Little Lexi on Santa's lap. She did not miss seeing Santa this Christmas afterall because of her young age. I know she does not know Santa nor was she able to tell Santa what she wanted this Christmas, but I was--I want her to have A Wonderful Life.

kindergarten boxcar parade

Well, everyone was healthy until Lexi got the flu and I got pneumonia.  Needless to say, it's been a rough week...BUT, we are better again and for the most part back to normal.  Jason, Lexi and I all worked together on this and we think it turned out great!  All the boxcars were unique and wonderful!  The parade was wonderful...it should have been televised!!

About a month ago we received an email about the daddy/daughter dance tonight.  Jason attached the flyer and forwarded it to me saying, "I have to work."  I frowned and moved on.  I didn't think much about it until the other day.  I had an "a-ha" moment and asked Jason if we could ask his dad so Lexi wouldn't miss out on the ball.  Jason called Kevin the next day and I received a text from Jason right after saying, "My dad would be happy to take Lexi."  I was delighted and Lexi was on cloud 9 when I told her Paw Paw wanted to take her to the ball (side note...we didn't tell Lexi about the ball because we didn't think she was going to be able to attend since Jason was out of town). The next day Jason left work early and met us at the mall for a little ball dress shopping.  Lexi danced around the dressing room in about 8 diff...
