Daddy Daughter Dance

One of the girls' favorite events! 

They went to a Valentine dance with the best Daddy in the whole world! 

 

Our friends who recently moved to Houston came back and stayed with us for the weekend so they could attend the dance.

Daddy and the girls had a great time!

Buckner Field Trip

The first graders had been collecting new shoes and socks to donate to Buckner International. We went to their facility to learn how the organization is helping children worldwide receive new shoes. The kids helped prepare the shoes by lacing them, putting a rubber band around them and writing a note to the recipient of the new shoes.  The kids had a great time working hard so that children could receive some much-needed shoes. 

The kids got to experience what it would feel like if they were one of the many children who have to walk to school without shoes. They experienced three types of grounds that are found around the world. It did not feel good!

New Year's Eve

We went to a friend's house for New Year's Eve. Before we went, we told the kids we were going to our friends house and we'd be staying up until midnight. They never knew that people celebrate on New Year's Eve by staying up until midnight. They were so surprised and SO excited that they were going to get to do this! 

We had dinner and then the kids watched a movie while the parents played a game. I thought for sure some kids would fall asleep during the movie, but everyone was still awake at midnight. 

We are looking forward to a new year!
