FCA Christmas Float

This year we participated in Frankfort's Christmas parade!  It sure was fun, but it sure was cold too!  The kids all had a good time, but were ready to get warmed up.  Thanks to PTF for creating and putting together the float, it was a very neat float!

Costume Party - November 2010

At last I'm finally getting around to posting pictures of our costume party we had.  This was a last minute party and a lot of those we invited couldn't come, but...we had fun with the ones that could.  We had a lot of fun together... eating, playing, sharing candy, etc.  It was fun to see all the kids come through the door in their costumes!  We had--a couple adorable ghosts, a knight, a hot dog, a hippie, a princess, a phantom, a pirate and a football player.  The old scary lady with the yellow and pink flamingo Mrs. Roper dress was...ME! : )  I asked my kids if they wanted to just have time to play or if they actually wanted to play games???  Since they just wanted to play with their friends, it didn't break my heart not having to come up with games : )  I think we will start a yearly tradition with this event, it was a lot of fun!  The kids played while us Moms just kicked back and relaxed.  With this taking place after Halloween, I was able to get plates and cups for .37cents, YEA!  The lovely wig and glasses that I purchased cost me a whole $3.25, so I must say that was quite a bargain, lol!  Think we could have fun with this every year if we could get stuff so cheap : )  Thanks for coming kids, hope you had a fun time!

FBHC Young Adult Christmas Party

Last night was our young adult Christmas party for church.  You may say, "why sooo early"???  Well ya see, around here it gets absolutely crazy at Christmas with family time, church/school plays, shopping, etc. etc that we say we are gonna have a party for our class and then never do, so...our friend Rhonda volunteered to make this happen and she DID!!!  Thanks so much to Rhonda and her helpers, we had a GREAT time!  It is always fun getting with God's people and knowing you will have a great time and know that you will actually remember the great time you had, when morning rolls around--if ya know what I mean!  The food was delish and the games and fellowship was just what we all needed!  Here's a look at a few of the crazy things we did!
