Noah was pretty excited for the start of his basketball season last week. They had one practice and then their first game was on Friday night. These kids are so enthusiastic about playing, but we are really working on basics right now, like remembering to dribble and pass!

| Grandpa Zeke came to cheer Noah on at his first game! |

| Chatting on the phone with Grandpa after the game |
 |
| From one sport to another! Snowy football on Saturday! |
 |
| The boundless energy continued with some snowshoeing in the fresh powder |
 |
| Time for some rest while cheering on the Steelers! |
There are all sorts of festive signs to remind us that Christmas is just a few days away!
 |
| Wishes the Elf hiding in the Xmas tree |
 |
| Matt has started collecting these cute nutcrackers - gotta love this one with beer and pretzels! |
 |
| We got to attend Colby's Christmas concert and hear him play a solo! SO PROUD! |
 |
| Noah has gone nuts with making paper chains and decorating our entire banister. He reminds us of Buddy the Elf! |
Festive foods have also been abundant lately!
 |
| Christmas tree dessert for my book club meeting |
 |
| Gingerbread House design at Girl Scouts |
 |
| Matt's chocolate fudge |
 |
| Matt's Maple fudge (ahhhhh-mazing!) |
 |
| A creative take on leftovers (I'm a little embarrassed about sharing this "meal") |
 |
| Evie's festive pancakes on Saturday morning |
 |
| Noah helped make cut-out cookies |
Evie was thrilled to "graduate" from treatment at the Orthodontist last week (perfect timing as we eat all the treats)! For the past year and a half, she has dealt with a palate expander and a retainer, and now she is free from it all. Of course, they are telling us that Phase 1 of treatment is done, but after she loses the rest of her baby teeth, she may need more. For now, she'll enjoy the freedom to eat lots of popcorn and sticky, chewy things!
Frankie has been going on some short runs with Matt lately, and they set a new record of 4 miles last week. Matt reports that she is becoming a great running buddy, and she seems so pleased afterward. I think she gets the runner's high!
 |
| Exhausted pup, but the ball is ready to go at any moment |
 |
| I'm not sure what even happened here. I think I feel loved? |
 |
| Watching squirrels. It's better than TV! |
 |
| Getting brushed - she is so good about this! |
 |
| The snow has returned. Hip Hip Hooray! |
 |
| Someone was busted for asking to go out repeatedly...and then just eating snow. |
