After being spoiled by the weather in November winter arrived in a big way this week. It started snowing last Sunday and temperatures quickly dropped to bitter levels. I know it has only been a week, but already it feels like winter's been going on forever.
The boys ready to play in the snow.
Jameson had a bit of a rough start with rec basketball this season. We didn't realize that we needed to prepare him a little bit before throwing him into a new sport. We showed up to the first game at the beginning of November thinking he would just get in there and try it out but he felt lost and self conscious and didn't want to ever go back. He refused to go to the next game, or the next, or the next. He even chose doing chores and having no privileges all day over going to his basketball game. During this time we worked with him so he would feel more comfortable. Adam took him to the church a few times and Korinne has been holding 30 min. practice sessions with him helping him learn to dribble and shoot the ball. Yesterday he finally felt ready to go to his basketball game which was good because they only had 4 other players show up. He played the entire game and by the end he looked a lot more relaxed and was enjoying himself.
There is only 1 game left, but I think progress has been made so we will take it.
Last night was our ward Christmas Party. The theme was the Polar Express and they did a really good job putting it together.
They invited everyone to come in their Pajamas.
Our 2 neighbors, McKenna and Trisha planned the whole thing so we were busy helping them get everything done. As our reward we got a lot of leftovers. 😀
