Christmas Hoe Down

On Wednesday, December 5^th, our family attended a Christmas Hoe Down at our new church! As many of you already know, Dad’s been attending this church since he moved down here in October. He had told us about the Hoe-Down and we were excited to be able to attend!

 

We weren’t sure what to expect since we’re pretty new to this Texas/Cowboy thing. J But we ended up having a lot of fun!

 

They had lots of dancing throughout the night, mostly for the kids with a few of the adults joining in. They did Cotton-Eyed Joe, the chicken dance, the Cha-Cha Slide, the electric slide, and lots of country songs with plenty of two-stepping.

For refreshments, we enjoyed hot dogs, root beer, cookies, fruit, and Christmas candy.

We girls enjoyed the fireplaces in the new building! J It reminds us of our fireplace in Michigan.

They also sang Christmas carols, and had a contest for the kids with prizes for those with the best Western-themed outfit.

 

One of the gentlemen at our church brought his lasso rope. The kids had a rousing tug-of-war competition!

The Hoe-Down was a great way to get to know some of the people at our church. We look forward to getting more involved!
