Joshua in Kids Choir program at church






Christmas Parade
















The Annual Christmas Parade this year was at night. It was really cool!










Wildcats win at Texas Stadium playoffs!
















The Wildcats are only 2 games away from State championship! We will play next Saturday at Texas Stadium again. If we win, we will play in the State finals, probably in San Antonio, the weekend before Christmas. Our entire row was Central Baptist Church folks. We got there really early and saved seats for everyone. Joshua was happy because all his friends were sitting with us.










Lights of Life
















The SSHS jazz band and our Kids Central Kids choir performed at the Lights of Life at Hopkins County Memorial Hospital. I didn't get any pictures of the kids singing because it was too dark. Chasity and Allie weren't sure about "Santa Claus"!

























The Kansas City Southern Railroad's Holiday Express made a stop here in Sulphur Springs...around 3,200 people weathered the cold weather to sneak a peak at the train. Joshua and I went in short sleeves, shorts and flip flops. It had been warm during the day. The weather quickly changed when we arrived. We stood in line for about an hour and 15 minutes...I was freezing!!!
