Basketball and X-mas Activities

The is our first season of basketball and Alex and Mason are both loving it. Alex (below with black shirt under jersey) is on the Bulls.
#12 going up for a shot!!

Mason is on Duke.
Here are some action shots of #1

Friday was the last day of school before Winter Break. The kindergarteners got to wear their pjs to school. Mason has a skull on his and is getting his book box out to read.
In Paris' 3rd grade class they each got to paint a winter scene on a section of the window. Here is Paris' work.

Above and beyond the call of duty. Mason decorated his door with this big piece of cardboard paper. He cut out a "door" and windows and hung ribbons from it. It is the perfect size for him to walk through, but Paul and I have to crawl through sideways and very carefully in order not to rip it off. NOT FUN for us to do multiple times a day.

We went ice skating at the outdoor rink last Weds. The kids had a blast and wanted to stay forever. Here are Paris and her BFF, Madi.
Mason and Alex are full on skaters now.
Paris and her Brownie Troop at the rink.
Paris and I heading out to a very fun X-mas tea party at Madi's grandmother's house.

Paris, Madi and Caitlyn after the party.

Paul and Paris had their annual X-mas date last night. They went to see "Scrooged" which is a musical version of Christmas Carol.
... and here they were three years ago on their date night :)

Great action shots on the basketball court! And I love the purple ribbons on Mason's door ;) The ice skating rink looks like so much fun, and you look positively stunning in that photo with Paris; what have you been putting in your water??
