Christmas In July

We had a great weekend with Mom and Grandma! Lexi calls Grandma Mike, "Muke" and Great Grandma, "Gigi." On Saturday, we went to the American Girl Doll Store, made a mosaic tile butterfly ornament, went out for pizza, and then stopped for a frozen custard dessert. It was a busy day, but it was a blast! Muke and Gigi bought Lexi a baby doll at AG while she wasn't looking and surprised her when we got home. Lexi LOVES her doll. The creator of AG is an absolute genius! They had us hooked...all of us, even Jason I think! Lexi named her baby, drum roll please..."Nine." Sometimes when you ask Lexi her baby's name, she'll answer, "Nine Ten." I assume this means Nine's middle name is Ten. Lexi eats with Nine, sleeps with her, feeds her, and changes her diaper. Lexi and Nine are bff's!

This weekend Lexi's new arts and crafts table arrived as well! It is a perfect place to sit and color, read books, and do puzzles. Another surprise package arrived with the table...Lexi's new owl backpack for school (tear)! It is a perfect fit for Lexi since she loves owls!

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!!

daddy/daughter dance

I have some catching up to do on the blog, but I wanted to write tonight while my feelings and emotions are raw... 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...
