Girls' First Basketball Practice and Game

The girls started playing basketball for the first time this winter. They have absolutely LOVED it. It is such a sweet team, and they have been really fun to watch. They play 3 on 3 which is really a good way to learn the game and less confusing with less people on the court. There are only two 1st grade teams in the whole league so most of the games have been pretty rough on us, but we hold our own against the other 1st grade team who we tend to play often. The girls don't get discouraged though and just keep playing. Hope this is the first of many many years of basketball to watch them play!

All of Sissies activities can really wear a boy out!

Our first official win was a buzzer-beater...all us parents were about to have a heart attack on the sidelines!

Second official win against the same team several weeks later (we have improved a lot although they were missing one of their players)

Thanksgiving Festivities

Thanksgiving was a little off this year..both sides of the family got sick so we decided to just hunker down at home. Ended up at the minute clinic anyways Thanksgiving day with Owen with a double ear-infection, and then with Madison the next day with a sinus infection...not how you really want to spend the holidays, but we got some quality at home family time!

Hold my hand, Macey
