The title sums up the week pretty nicely. We spent much of the week all about basketball or having fun as we prepare for Christmas.
First, basketball. This was our first tournament weekend. Merrick had three practices during the week (plus two baseball practices as bonus). So far we have had three games this weekend, with the championship game still to come. The first game was a bit of a nail-biter with a 4 point victory, but the other two games have been blowouts. Now we are heading to the championship game tonight. This is Merrick's first time playing tournament ball for basketball. The first game you could tell he was nervous and not bringing his A-game, but still had something like 8 points. Since then, he has shaken off the nerves. The last game we played he scored 8 of the first 10 points and ended up scoring 14 during the game. It's good to be the big man.
The other highlight of the week has been parties and playdates. Carrigan and Elsie had several playdates this week and it feels good to be able to see friends a bit more now. Also we had several days with great weather and we were able to stay and play with friends after school. The fun times capped off last night with the ward Christmas party. The theme was bedtime stories with Santa and Ms. Claus (Papa and Nana) and Becca (who was in charge) knocked it out of the park. I think the girls also appreciated having that party to go to instead of Merrick's game.
Tonight the girls are going to have a pajama party at Nana and Papa's instead of going to the championship game. I don't know who is more excited about their evening plans, the girls or Merrick, but it should be a good night.
