What Happens When.......

.....you get 5 Paxton girls together for a day shopping at the Park City Outlets.

This is my trunk before we headed up there for the day........

......and this is after all the damage was done
(we had to stop shopping because there wasn't anymore room)

Look how happy we all were to get some of our Christmas shopping done.

A Start To The Christmas Festivites....

Every year my family gets together and decorates gingerbread houses. This is Colby and mine this year. We didn't get any pictures with us by it, so this is as good as it gets. There will be more Christmas festivity pictures to come. (I think that we really liked the snow(marshmallows) this year)

Thanksgiving With Mickey!!!

Colby and I went to Disney World for Thanksgiving. We meet most of Colby's family over there to enjoy the Thanksgiving holiday.

This is Cinderella's Castle at night with all of the Christmas lights on it.
It was so magical....

This is us doing the traditional picture taking in front of the castle

Minne in her holiday outfit

We also got a picture with good old Uncle Scrooge
(it say it is Donald Duck but it is not)

Us in the stocks

Minne Mouse in the light parade.

They have a awesome light parade the they put on each night.


There is no way that you can afford to buy anything in the souvenir shops so we decided to put them on and take pictures. That the the poor man way of getting souvenirs.

This is us on the ride "It's a Small World After All"


Us at Animal Kingdom in front of their Christmas tree
It was so fun having all of the different parks decorated for Christmas

Colby and David AKA Colby's Dad
Our first day being in Florida we went on a air boat ride to see alligators

Last but not least, I had to feature these two cute boys, they really seamed to hit it off on this trip. Jace really seemed to like Colby a lot. He either wanted his Dad or Colby. It was so cute.
This kid has taken the lead in the cutest child in the Lewis family. He is awesome.--Colby
Look at him grabbing my ears. The best!!!

One last thanks to Colby's sister Karina for setting this whole trip up and letting us all stay in her condo. THANK YOU KARINA!!!!

A NIGHT TO REMEMBER.......

The Annual Nelson Halloween Party!!!

Colby's sister does a Halloween Party every year with their friend and some of the family, this year it was on October 32rd AKA November 1st. The theme of the party (as you can see from the invitation below) was TACKY PROM.
Colby and I didn't want to go as the traditional big puffy sleeved dress and the nasty suite with the ruffly dress shirt. So.....we brain storming and we can up with the idea of going as an Amish couple.

Take a look below to see all of the crazy costumes that people came up with.

The famous Lewis Amish couple

Ginny and Wally
The special Goth hostess

Megan and Shane
Cowgirl and Cowboy

We didn't quite get a couple shot of Amy and Mike but here is Amy in one of her high school dresses. (it was so funny.... she was wearing a picture of herself when she was 16 wearing this dress)

They too were wearing their good old tacky promo get-up, but if you notice Jayme is sporting the babies breath in her hair.

One big happy family

In the end we all voted for this years prom King and Queen. I am happy to announce that my Amish Prince got voted to be the King and his lovely queen was dress in duct tape.

The Queens husband and I were the runners up, by one vote.
