Having a very Merry Christmas in 2009!

Let the fun and excitement of Christmas 2009 begin ~

"Mommy, Santa bring trains!"Look at all this fun stuff in my stocking: princess panties, glitter nail polish, paint brushes, bubble bath . . .

taking her little dog for a walk (the best dog we could find - it doesn't go to the bathroom and you can turn off the barking when you have had enough)

After some opening of presents in the morning, we were invited to join our neighbors and their family for Christmas dinner. We made and brought our "Jesus birthday cake" to their house for dessert. Daddy says Jesus likes chocolate cake and Lexi says Jesus likes "candy canes" so we put the two together! And here is Jesus' chocolate peppermint birthday cake. The candy cane symbolizes Jesus. The shape of a candy cane is that of a "J", the white color represents the Virgin Birth and the sinless nature of Jesus, and the red colored stripe is for the blood shed by Christ on the cross. We even sang "Happy Birthday to Jesus".

Lexi has grown up with Coconut, the neighbor's dog, since she was 6 months old and they both follow each other around all the time.

Best friends ~ Coconut was so nice to share her bed with Lexi.She really is a lot more excited about her new backpack than she looks (this was after 10 hours of Christmas). When she puts it on she looks like a little girl ready to go to school.Aunt Jenny gave her paint and boy was she ever excited!Playing with Handy Man*y and his tools.

Thanks to Papa & Grandma we will be going with the rest of our family to Walt D*sney World in Florida for vacation and to help celebrate Trevor's Make-A-W*sh!Lexi can hardly wait. Here favorite line when talking on the phone is "See you at D*sney World in a couple weeks!"

And we will wrap up our last bit of Christmas 2009 in February when we travel to the "Happiest Place on Earth".
Thanks to everyone who made this holiday season so special and so much fun for us!
