'Tis the Season!

Okay, so Saturday we enjoyed the NCSU/UNC football game and definitely liked the outcome of the game! Sunday was our usual church, Sunday School, Bob Evans and then off to the State basketball game with my mom and grandparents. The boys are a lot more vocal at basketball games than football games. It was fairly quiet and then all of a sudden you heard a little boy yell, "YES" when we scored a basket. That was Ian. I was shocked! Both were doing the wolfpack signs with their hands and they just really enjoyed watching the game and being part of it all.

On Monday Gavin was VIP at school. So we were fortunate enough to have Lucky spend two nights with us. Gavin really does take care of this class pet. He wants to take Lucky everywhere. Way too cute!

Monday night was our first basketball practice for Ian's team, the Armadillos! I'm coaching again and we have a great group of kids and parents. So, I'm definitely looking forward to the season.

Tonight we decorated the Christmas tree since Cailean fixed the lights and then he put together the train that goes around the base of the tree that my dad bought the boys last year. We just need the batteries and the train will be ready to run. This is the picture we included in Lucky's journal!

Wish me luck for tomorrow! It's early release day for Ian, so I'm taking the boys to Portrait Innovations at 2pm for the Christmas picture. Last year Gavin gave a fit because he didn't want to wear the outfit (last year he took naps and I had to wake him up from that nap!!!). He cried the whole time picking Ian up from school. Ian gets into the car and tells me he won't smile for the picture. I called my mom and asked why I do this. But, here we go...another year and I make another appointment. It was nearly impossible trying to find Christmas outfits for the boys.

Looking forward to the end of the week because Matt and Alissa will be here!
