| Cookie is back! |
Yes, it is December 3, and we are officially starting our Christmas Break. Why? It is because number one: I want to and we can, and number two: I really like being able to sit back and really enjoy the Christmas festivities with my family without feeling stressed about all the pressures of the holidays. In fact, we are already 75% done with all our shopping. That leaves loads of time for movies, baking, games, looking at lights, and of course, basketball games. We start school earlier in the fall and work through Thanksgiving break just so we can take a nice long Christmas break. A finishes her classes this weekend and will have a six and a half week break that she is really ready for. She has been on large animals recently and a few of the procedures have left her a little nauseous so she is ready to be able to just go to work and then come home and unwind.

| T forgot about Cookie so she over took his chair and blankie! |
T had two ball games this week. The first one was in Slidell which is only about 12 minutes from my house! I had forgotten how nice it is to leave for something only fifteen minutes before you have to be there! IT WAS AWESOME! We won 26-20. T had seven points; one of which was a beautiful three pointer. He was the second offensive player in that game. The first player scored 10. The second game was a game we played against our jv B team. It was really funny. The game was broken up into eight, four minute "quarters" so each everyone would have equal playing time. No subbing. We also split up the starters and let most of the second string start, since they never get to. The boys at first were just jogging around and smiling, just enjoying playing with their friends since everyone knows everyone. However, after the first couple of "quarters" when the fouls started coming, as T puts it, the beast came out! The boys started playing more aggressively and it was just like being at another game, if the other games had eight "quarters". We won 45-41. The starters for this game had 3 normal starters starters and two second string starters. That group had 23 turnovers ( equals 46 in a real game) and scored 15 points. The " second" string was made up of T and another normal starter and 3 of the second string players. They had only 5 turnovers and scored 30 points, with T leading all the offensive players in this game by scoring 15 himself including a couple of three pointers. I would have hated to be that jv team having to listen to their coach after they were beat by a bunch of freshman!

| The wish bone was perfectly split! |

| T led stretches before the game. |
 |
| I am happily surprised that A has gone to all the trouble to arrange her schedule so she can attend so many of T's games. |

| T decided to try wearing a headband to keep sweat out of his eyes. It might not be fashionable, but it is functional. He looks straight out of the 1980's.😂 |
L has been busy baking treats to give her friends for Christmas. After next week's super long day of singing in both services and at the arboretum, the choir will take a break until after the holidays so she wanted to make something for her friends. She goes in to take her final driving test this week! Over the break, we are going to also look at programs for next year. She seems to be leaning towards photojournalism. I will keep you posted on what she decides.

| She loves baking. She made white cranberry and gingerbread biscotti. |
