An awesome event our youth group at church puts on is called "Disciple Now Weekend". The youth from our church (and several other area churches) have a weekend of intense discipleship and lots of fun. The kids are divided up in age groups and each age group stays in a different host home with a couple of college kids as leaders. This year we hosted the freshman girls and we had a blast!
The girls were helping me get the leaders "beds" all set up on Friday morning. They were SO EXCITED about the girls coming!
They just KNEW Miss Avery would want their stuffed animals on her bed...HA!
We ran to Walmart to get some last minute grocery stuff for the weekend...
and while we were there we HAD to pick out cards for Valentine's Day for Daddy! That took FOREVER...she's about as indecisive as Ryan!
Friday night we headed to the church to meet our group...the girls were all decked out in their new Valentine shirts from Aunt Sarah!
Brynn gets to be one of the flower girls in Miss Alaina's wedding in May! YAY!
After we got the girls settled in at our house, we headed out to get them some bandanas...we had lots of fun playing around in Walmart...=)
Later that night we took the girls back to the church for the opening kick-off and rap concert!
When "Thisl" (the rap guy) would yell "throw your hands up!" Emory was ALL ABOUT IT!
Our sleeping arrangements were interesting...the girls took over the upstairs so Brynn slept with us and Emory slept in the pack n play in our bathroom. =)
Brynn had lots of fun surprising and playing with the big girls during meals...
and got very very spoiled. The big girls even did her hair!
When they all left for the afternoon stuff at church, it was just Emory and I at the house. I looked down and there she was on the floor...
She was worn. out. And she had gotten sick the night before...we thought it was just something she ate. She would throw up in the bowl and then be totally fine...but we tried to keep her away from the girls.
Not cool when you have a house full of girls at your house...
Sunday morning the Disciple Now kids were all supposed to head to church for the big concert during morning worship but the weather took a crazy turn and starting snowing like crazy around 7 am. Church got cancelled and all the parents had to come pick up their kids from all the host homes...the roads were getting so bad!
Of course Brynn had a BLAST visiting with all the girls while they were all being picked up.
The girls were AWESOME and we had such a fun weekend getting to know them, getting to participate in some of the fun Disciple Now activities, and just watching our girls interact with them. We pray they learned so much and live out their faith to their friends!
