april 11, 2014...also known as "Christmas"

Wow!!  Yesterday was MAGICAL!!

Michelle and Addie invited us to see Beauty and the Beast at a Frisco Middle School.  Michelle used to teach the girl who played "Belle" in the production.  Belle was unbelievable and the girls were so honored to meet her!!

Before the play Michelle suggested we take the girls to Sweet and Sassy to get all dolled up...let me just say, that was the BEST idea EVER!  Addie and Lexi took turns getting their hair and makeup done.  I don't have the words to explain how much they loved it!  They both had huge smiles the entire time and gazed endlessly in every mirror.  After hair and makeup they both had their nails done.  Michelle and I have never seen the girls that excited.  They were on top of the world.  Addie told Michelle today that yesterday was the best day of her life.  I believe Lexi felt the same way.  Lexi's reaction to Santa gifts on Christmas morning does not even compare to how she acted yesterday.  Thank you, Michelle and Addie for inviting us to the most magical Friday in Frisco (well, technically S+S is in Plano).   :)









AND...

Yesterday the Stars made the playoffs for the first time in SIX years!!  This is such a blessing to our family.  Jason works so hard and sadly, he misses so much (i.e. he hasn't been able to attend a soccer game OR even a practice yet).  The season is extended a little longer, but all the hard work from the Stars organization has paid off and that makes me happy.  Playoffs are exciting all around.  So, April 11, 2014 was basically the feeling of Christmas morning as a child for our lil' family and I will forever be grateful for this magical day.

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...
