Last night we went to our Christmas Service at Church. Before we left, we snapped a few cute photos. Someone please explain how my precious little newborn has turned into a little BOY (and yes, the cutest in the entire universe!!!) I absolutely adore the pic with "Aunt Shoney."
We went to see "Rudolph" at Casa Manana in Forth Worth. Dane so loved the show with Santa, Frosty and Rudolph. He liked them from afar...but he's not so sure up close!!
Aunt Soney came over Thanksgiving weekend to help us finish putting our Christmas Tree up. She is so fun and Dane still calls her, "DoDo" but will call her "Shoney" too!
Well, many of you have seen our church and pastor in the news lately. Without going into detail, let's just say that it is nice when something that is biblical and right makes the news. (Of course there are always those who love to put a spin on it...) I LOVE that I can invite anyone to come and know that they'll feel comfortable and that they will understand what is being said. The creative aspect of what we do at Fellowship is my favorite. The message of Christ is always presented in a creative way. From Ed's messages and throughout the music...all very well thought out and planned. I am going to add a few videos from our worship team on my blog. I hope you'll take a few minutes to view and listen. Many friends ask me what to expect if they go to one of our Christmas services. I've attached a rockin' video below to help answer your questions....

When I think back to this time a little over two years ago, it is hard to imagine that my little turkey baby is now a walking, talking, arguing, fit-throwing(at times), little man! Dane is absolutely the joy of our lives. He is so fun to be around and if I could just bottle up his energy to sell, I'd be a rich lady! During this season I have really thanked God for the gift of my little guy. In the midst of wondering if we'd ever be blessed with a child, God answered. I will never forget the 20+ hour delivery and wondering the entire time would "it" be a boy or girl? What a great surprise he was!! Here are a few things about Dane that I just really love...silly they may be, but....anyone who is a mommy knows all the little quarks count for something!!
1. I love the way Dane's lips look when he is drinking from a straw. His whole face just curls up and he has the cutest pucker on his face.
2. I love to rock him while I still can. Although his body hangs halfway down the chair, I still enjoy a good cuddle.
3. I like it when I come in the room and he says, "My Mommy!"
4. I am enjoying the holiday season and seeing it from a child's point of view. Last night we took Dane to see "Rudolph" at Casa Manana in Ft. Worth. He watched every part of the play with such intent. I loved watching him at the production.
5. I love to tell Dane stories in a quiet whisper. He tucks his head in my neck and I whisper a story in his ear.
6. I love the way he says his name so proudly, "Dane Rynan Parnen."
