Soon

My niece had her first game last week. We were all excited to go root for the home team. Brings back lots of memories of my ball days. Fun to watch girls play!
She has a future for sure. Again the settings on the camera are being tweaked... Guess who. They are lame. Better next time. Tim will die when he sees I have put blurry pics on my blog.



There was a little goofing off too.


Catching up with Uncle Tim.

Checking the score.


Here we are fixing to wrap it all up. Kate sang in the Christmas Choir at school last week. They did a beautiful job and it was a great reminder how blessed our kids are to have teachers that really do love them as their own.


We were without a car for 4 days last week. So I was walking all over Surprise. It is funny how we still kinda have that little town feeling out here. I had several parents stop and offer me a ride on the few outings I was out on foot! Smile. So it was good bonding time. Kate agreed! Kate had her last game for the fall season. It was a tie game. That girl has an arm on her. When she connects with the ball she smacks it hard! She would like to pitch in the Spring. We may look into a pitching coach for her.

Look at her expression on this one.

Girls she has played with for 3 years.



Her coach said some really great stuff about her. Love that guy!



Then it was off that night to celebrate with Tim's family for Christmas. We do a White Elephant gift exchange and one family gift.







Gotcha.



Tim's mom plays the violin for us each year. She does a beautiful job. Thanks Mom.




My sister in law hosted. Everything was perfect! Her house looked adorable and all the food was yummy. Thanks Mary and Joel for having us!
We love you all and wish you a Merry Christmas with your family!
