| EVERY YEAR I LOOK FORWARD TO THE CHOCOLATE SAUCE COLLEEN MAKES FOR CHRISTMAS. I'VE BEEN KNOWN TO EAT IT RIGHT OUT OF THE JAR, BUT THIS YEAR HELD OFF UNTIL WE REMEMBERED TO BUY ICE CREAM. MAYBE YOU'RE ASKING, "NO WHIP CREAM OR CHERRY ON TOP", NO NEED WHEN YOU HAVE THAT WONDERFUL, RICH CHOCOLATE SAUCE.
THANKS COLLEEN!

 |
| OUR #35 WAS RIGHT IN THERE GETTING THE REBOUNDS. |
 |
| HE PLAYED A TOUGH GAME, SO TOUGH THAT HE GOT HIT IN THE FACE WITH THE BALL, HAVING TO LEAVE THE GAME HALF WAY THROUGH WITH A NOSE BLEED. |
 |
| IT'S HARD TO SIT ON THE SIDELINES AND WATCH YOUR TEAM LOSE, HUH SAM. BETTER LUCK NEXT GAME. |
 |
IT MIGHT NOT LOOK LIKE MUCH, BUT I'VE SPENT HOURS GETTING THIS FAR. |
 |
| I'VE CONCENTRATED MOSTLY ON THE BOTTOM HALF. THE TOP IS MAINLY HILLS AND TREES. (Note the tupperware container, it's full of just trees.) I'M EXPECTING IT TO BE QUITE A CHALLENGE! |
 |
| OLIVIA'S SCHOOL PUT ON THE PLAY PETER PAN, AND SHE PLAYED SEWATI, ONE OF THE INDIANS. |
 |
| I RECEIVED TWO 1000 PIECE PUZZLES FOR CHRISTMAS AND, IF YOU CAN BELIEVE IT OR NOT, I STARTED ON THIS ONE ALMOST TWO WEEKS AGO. A LITTLE BIT NOW, A LITTLE BIT THEN, AND IT'S FINALLY BEGINNING TO TAKE SHAPE. |
 |
| SPENT THIS MORNING PUTTING TOGETHER THE MANY SIGNS THAT ARE IN THE PUZZLE. BETWEEN BOTH PUZZLES, I'M READY FOR A LONG WINTER! |
 |
| BUT THEY'RE LOVING IT!
AFTER SAMS GAME WE ALL HEADED TO DINNER. THANKS TO ONE OF GABE'S FRIENDS, LOOK AT WHAT WAS DELIVERED TO OUR TABLE FOR DESSERT.
NOW THAT'S A SUNDAE!
|
 |
| WE GOT THERE IN TIME TO WATCH OLIVIA PLAY GOALIE IN THE END OF THIS GAME. |
 |
| I'M NOT SURE IF SHE'S EVER PLAYED GOALIE BEFORE, BUT SHE LOOKS LIKE SHE'S HAVING FUN. |
 |
| SHE DID A GOOD JOB OF IT TOO, THEY WON. JUST LOOK AT THAT THROW! |
 |
| NEXT GAME, ROXY #4 JOINED IN COVERING HER OPPONENT LIKE A BLANKET. |
 |
| YOU CAN ONLY EXPECT GOOD THINGS WHEN YOU'VE GOT THE "SPLASH SISTERS" #4 AND #12 IN THE GAME. |
 |
| OK ROXY, YOU GET THE BALL, I'VE GOT THIS GIRL COVERED. |
 |
| KEEP AFTER THEM LIV, EVEN IF YOUR CAP IS COMING OFF. |
 |
| STAY ON 22 LIV, |
 |
| BECAUSE SHE'S NOT GOING TO LET UP ON YOU, WHEN YOU HAVE THE BALL. |
 |
GREAT GAMES GIRLS!!!
HOPE YOU WON THE SECOND ONE.
WE LEFT BEFORE THIS GAME WAS OVER, SO I COULD MEET UP WITH THE BRIDE TO BE AND HER MOM AND SISTER TO WATCH HER CHOOSE HER WEDDING GOWN. CAN'T TELL YOU WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE, IT'S A SECRET, BUT I CAN TELL YOU
SHE LOOKS BEAUTIFUL IN IT!
|
 |
| WELL THE DUBLIN GAELS PROVED OTHERWISE. |
 |
| WE ARRIVED INTO THE SECOND QUARTER, AND THE SCORE ALREADY WAS IMPRESSIVE. |
 |
| THIRD QUARTER, AND IT ONLY GOT BETTER. |
 |
| THEY PLAYED HARD, AND ENDED WITH A WINNING SCORE OF 49 TO 21. |
 |
| GREAT JOB GAELS! LET THIS BE A TURNING POINT FOR THE REST OF THE SEASON. |
 |
| WHILE CLEANING OUT CUPBOARDS TODAY, I CAME ACROSS THIS ADORABLE PHOTO OF ABBEY. IT WAS TAKEN IN 1996 BEFORE JENNY AND MIKE'S WEDDING. SHE IS PATIENTLY WAITING, OUTSIDE THE CHURCH, FOR THE WEDDING TO GET STARTED.
AN ADORABLE FLOWER GIRL,
SOON TO BE A BEAUTIFUL BRIDE.
|
 |
| AND THAT'S WHAT SAM DID TODAY WITH HIS TEAM PLAYING THE PITTSBURGH PIRATES AGAIN. |
 |
| I THINK I REMEMBER THIS #40 FROM LAST TIME. ISN'T HE THE ONE THAT TRIED TO TACKLE SAM? |
 |
| SAM GETS FOULED, |
 |
| AND HE |
 |
| MAKES THE BASKET! IN SPITE OF THE LOSS, GREAT GAME SAM! |
 |
| HAIR FLYING, SHIRTS OUT, |
 |
| AND BEING ON THE FLOOR SOME OF THE TIME, THEY STILL BEAT THE DADS BY TWO. .GUESS MAYBE I CAN SEE WHY THE OTHER TEAM WAS AFRAID TO PLAY THEM. |
