NorthStar Baptist Christmas Eve Service 2008

We celebrated our 3rd annual community Christmas Service this year.  We had a really good turn out, around 70 guests.  Our music director, David, put the program together.  We had a classical guitar quartet, grand band and Christmas Carols.  Alexa sang with two other girls Hark the Harold Angels Sing, it was beautiful!  Mike ended the program with sharing the Christmas story with the kids and a candle lighting with Silent Night.  Praise God, He was there!  We had 4-5 salvations.  Please pray for these people, that they would seek Him and obey Him.  Thank all of you for your prayers over this Christmas and may God bless your families with a Happy New Year!

Christmas Story

(None of our kids were up there, Nathan was asleep and Thomas said he was too old!)

Let it Snow, Let it Snow, Let it Snow!

Can you believe it?  It is snowing in Vegas!  We had flurries last year, but nothing like this.  It snowed all day, they even cancelled school for the next day!  People can't drive in the rain so I guess they knew they wouldn't be able to drive in snow at all!!!  The kids had so much fun.  We even made snow cream.  Even though we do not have a yard to play in they found plenty to do.  I think it may even have calmed the anticipation to go sledding on the mountain (it is sooo cold up there), for a few days anyway!  We Hope you all Have A Very Merry Christmas!

"1st Date"

Mike promised his little girl a few years ago that he would take her on her 1st date when she turned 12.  He told her she could go anywhere and they would ride in a limo.

While getting older and smarter she decided it would be more fun to go in a convertible!

This is the car she picked out!  They had dinner and went to see The Blue Man Group.

After the show he took her to get a Huge Chocolate Strawberry (one of her favorites)!

They both had a great time and enjoyed spending time together as father and daughter!

This is most certainly a moment in life they will cherish always!
