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.

Day 8

Sometimes when life seems hard, sad, or stressful, I like to just stop for a moment and find something happy or peaceful. This evening, Lexi and I were driving home and we noticed the beautiful sunset. I stopped so we could take a picture on my phone. When I look at the sky and it looks like this, it makes me think of the loved ones we have lost and are now in Heaven. Instead of feeling sadness, I feel comfort they are in their forever home in the arms of Jesus. I'm thankful to have to ability to remember and the faith to feel comfort. - Posted using BlogPress from my iPhone

Day 12

Today I am thankful for Apple.  Apple makes great technology.  Jason has been in Canada for almost a week and because of our iPads we were able to facetime with him!  Lexi gets a little shy when the conversation begins, but she quickly warms up and loves to talk and kiss him.  We love and miss him so much when he is traveling.  We are looking forward to the summer when he is home with us for a couple of months straight!!

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!!
