Catching Up - Hall of Honor and a Flash Mob

No, I did not get inducted into a Hall of Honor for participating in a Flash Mob...I wish. But, things have been busy around here. I can't really even tell you all that has been going on this past week...but, it has been a whirlwind! We have been busy bees getting ready for Christmas and with lots of dinners and events to go to.
Last week, we had a really special dinner for my dad where he was inducted into the Birdville School District Athletic Hall of Honor. It was a pretty big deal and he gave a great speech that was inspirational and spiritual and just made me so proud to be his daughter. It was a little like preaching from the pulpit and he was fabulous at it.

Then, Saturday, I did a Flash Mob in Frisco Square with Kristen, Allison, Mendy and Ashley and Allison's SIL, Allison. It was fantastic.

It was so fun to practice the day of the flash mob and have all the kiddos come out to watch Santa parachute in and watch us bust out into a dance.

Here is a cute video of Kinley and Ella hugging it out...
Kris and Al did a great post about the whole experience here. I am a little behind the game. Here is a different video that someone posted that is different than the one on LL. You can kind of see us and how not great we are...haha!

Skip to like 35 seconds...for some reason there is a crazy long title intro.

Merry Christmas!
