Photo Shoot for Christmas Card!!

I took these pictures of the kids at different times, The girls  back in Sept. and the boys just last week. Not, really thinking I would use them for our Christmas card but it worked out that way.. Some are really funny and shows who they are and their little personalities. I will love them forever, and I cherish my time with them.

Family time is what consist of our Thanksgiving. We eat a lot, We cut our Christmas Tree down, We play games, We Shoot Clay Pigeons, We see Santa Clause, We do Crafts, Yup every single year we (girls) get together and do a craft the weekend of Thanksgiving. I am so blessed I get to do this twice with each side of my family. So here are some pictures of what our activities were and the things we made.

one word “Basketball”

This might be just a word too many. But this little word is so much more than that. It is a huge commitment, hard work, dedication,  concentration, team work, expensive, time consuming, just to name a few. Gavin has been playing basketball since he was 5 years old. This past Fall he started on a competitive Team (super league AAU) He is able to do what he loves 3 nights a week at practice and Games once a week. Also some time gets invited to play in tournaments. He is learning a lot and gets a lot of coaching and technique practice.  A lot of his personality plays out on the court. He is and has been competitive and hard working and never gives up since he was a little boy. He is find out by playing on this team that there is a lot of other kids his same age that our good players as well. He knows he has to work hard and listen and be unselfish to stand out on the court. I love watching him play and grow has a player. Way to go BUD!!
