Basketball, awards, concerts and Christmas

 Ajay and Maddox made it onto their school's tier 1 basketball team.  They are good basketball players, though they are rather short compared to their competition, which to be made up of a lot of grade 8 boys that look like they could be in high school.  I am not a short person, but I have felt short next to some of these kids.




They have reversible jerseys!

Ajay and Maddox also won awards from their school in academics and sports.




At the awards ceremony they were able to meet a CFL player for Anthony Combs. 
 He plays for Toronto Argonauts, though he actually went to both their elementary school and middle school.



Amara had a Winter concert.  It had a Christmas in paradise kind of theme.  
The older kids also did a play about pirates and elves.


We had several family gatherings around Christmas time.

The queen!

We played a new gift game with dice. 



She loves her blankets and sheets she received from her grandpa.
