I've been a bad blogger......

So back in November I wrote this elaborate, beautiful blog about Thanksgiving and what all I was thankful for and it just never actually made it to my blog. So here it is all summed up..... I am thankful for my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, my husband and child, my parents, my sister, all family and friends, my health, my job, my cell phone, diet coke, that the elections were over,  my Church family, flip flops and pinterest! Thanksgiving was rather quite this year. Jason had to work as usual so Colby and I spent the evening with my parents and Lawson family. Like most everyone else, we ate too much and crashed early. Let me bring you up to speed since I left you last.....



 Colby's girlfriend Bayleigh turned 5. We attended a very fun party at Mitchell Farms and these two stopped to pose for a very sweet picture.

The very same day we added a new member to our family. Please feel sorry for this kitty...... Colby loves to torture her as you can clearly see. Her name is Cami and she is attached to us very much. She takes turns sleeping with each of us. I think she likes Colby a little bit better when he is sleeping.

If the fair was a holiday, it would be mine and Jasons favorite of the year! We spend entirely too much money and eat way too much but we have a wonderful time every year. Colby was FINALLY tall enough to ride everything so we were able to enjoy it much more.

The fair is a tradition for us to go with our good friends Jason and Noel Phillips. Warren and Colby rode all the rides together and even little Wyatt got to join them a time or two.

Who wouldn't want to be Iron man for Halloween right?!?  We kept it very low key this year and just attended treats in the streets at JCJC. Colby was a little bored until........

He met his hero!!! Colby is OBSESSED with power rangers so to meet their leader (the red ranger) was pure awesomeness! He was very kind to pose for a picture with Colby and even show him a few moves.

I am a tad obsessed with Pinterest. This was one creation of many I have made lately.

Look who came to Dixie Electric!

Telling Santa that he wanted a bow and arrow for Christmas. He then asked was he on the good list. Santa promptly lied and said yes..... Mommy had already practiced the correct reply to this answer with Santa earlier but I guess Santa didn't have the heart to tell Colby the truth....

We got to lead the Ellisville Christmas Parade with Daddy in his police car. Colby waved at each person till he said his arm hurt really bad and he asked if he could stop. 

Dixie Christmas Awards Party

We had to have Christmas with my brother and sister in law a little early this year because he works offshore and will be gone for Christmas.

Isn't he absolutely handsome? I tell you, what he lacks in behavior he more than makes up for in looks.

Typical Colby...... do you see that T Rex had to pose too?


I am looking forward to this Christmas season. My favorite things are the different smells, the lights, the food, the fellowship, the music and the joy but MOST important to me is remembering the real reason for the season. I have the most special gifts I could ask for already. They are a treasure unlike any other and make my life worth living every single day. I love you Jason and Colby more than you will ever know. I am so blessed beyond reason and no gift will ever overshadow that. Thank you Jesus for your ultimate sacrifice.... for you truly did love us enough to come to this earth, be born in a manger, live 33 pure years on this earth setting the ultimate example, and dying on the cross for me. I am unworthy and humbled at that very thought. I hope each of you have a very Merry Christmas from my family to yours.
