Basketball

Alexis had her first basketball tournament, and they did alright.  They got beat the first game, and then they won the second and then lost the third.... They improved each game and are getting better each year.  They are really fun to watch and they all just seem so big out there.  I still can not believe I have a girl this old.  

Alexis and I were able to go and do some shopping after the game while Ryan helped Chase with some house stuff.  I can tell that this girl is going to be a little shopper..... I may be in trouble.  (what am I saying.... I have already been in trouble with this girls for a while now)

Elizabeth saw the egg nog in the store and said we had to get it because it reminded her of Grandma and Grandpa Merrill.  It is so hard to not have them here this time of year.  It just isn't the same without them.  They are such fun party animals and they are the glue that holds us all together.  We didn't even have a Merrill family party this year because they are not home.  But we are planning on having a HUGE one when they get back.
