Santa Claus

Here's a picture of the girls with Santa at Grapevine Mills. We did a little shopping and walking around. They made sure to tell him exactly what they wanted for Christmas. While Anna Beth's list was very practical, Parker asked for a computer so she could play on the Disney website. Not so practical gifts for Parker.

Drive Conference

Welcome to Altlanta...actually we were in Alpharetta, GA. Here are a few pictures from our trip. We had such a wonderful time.

Alpharetta had the most beautiful trees. I was wishing we could uproot these and bring them back to Texas with us. They were the most vibrant red color.

Here's Rocky performing for the staff at Joe's Crab Shack. I thought he was going to get us kicked out before we ever were seated.

Someone told the waitress that it was Rocky's birthday...even though it wasn't. They dressed him as a supermodel. He got to walk the "cat walk."

Drive Conference - what a better place to have video car driving games. This is the church where Andy Stanley is the pastor. We went to learn how to better equip us as ministers/volunteers at Grace Fellowship. WOW! If you want to visit a church that is "doing it" right go to this church. I loved the motto of the conference...Because we're not there yet. The staff was very transparent, shared with us what they were doing that seemed to be successful in reaching people, what they have changed, and how to find what best fits your church. It was so refreshing.

In our spare time, we played video games. Look below at all the fun we had.

Here's a link to see the video, "Don't Tread on This." It is a Nike video of Clint rapping. Anna Beth especially likes the parts where Clint is juggling the ball.

First Missing Tooth

Just days before her sixth birthday, Parker lost her first tooth. She was so excited. The tooth has been loose for just a few days. Little "Miss Impatient" has not been able to leave the poor tooth alone. Today she worked it so much that I was finally able to pull it. Yes, me...not her father, the weakling. You know how he faints at the sight of blood. Her eyes grew big when I finally got my humongous fingers on it and started to pull it out. She has been smiling ever since.
