Our good friends Phil and Mimi Johnston invited us down to their home in Holiday Island, Arkansas to go see a production of "A Christmas Carol" at Silver Dollar City! It was so fun to be with them, and relax a bit. We had not been to Silver Dollar City for over twenty years, and it was so fun to be there again. The play was GREAT! It is one of our favorite stories, and the cast was wonderful. God Bless Us Everyone!

This is Silver Dollar City's 50th anniversary. To mark the occasion, all of the lucky ones who were born in 1960 get in free! What a deal. I even got a beautiful button to show for my many years. I am proudly wearing it, and am just pondering all the outfits I can wear it with!
Parker was VERY involved in Marching Band again this year. It was a great season, in spite of a change in the directors. Parker has had so much fun with his friends in band, and they did well with their competitions. Every Saturday for five weeks, they competed. This year the band traveled to Broken Arrow, OK and St. Louis, Missouri. They also had some competitions in the greater Kanas City area. Brian and I have LOVED watching our boy. Both of us were in marching band when we were in high school, and some of our favorite memories come from our times with great friends. We are so proud of Parker and look forward to two more years of these great experiences. We have loved getting to know more of the band parents. On to next year!
