Basketball and Parties

December 16: In the morning, Dylan had his basketball game. He did great.

He scored.

He did great on defense.

We came home and had lunch and made some food for our party later that day.

Then Aaron took Blake to his basketball game and I took Dylan to Cannon's birthday party. These boys have so much fun together.

This is Max and Garrett.

Dylan's current favorite buddies at school were all at the party. Hudson, Cannon, Jake, Max and Dylan. He also plays with Garrett and Lucca. They are all alike--crazy boys, but really well-behaved during class time. His teacher says they are the best group of boys...she puts them all at the same table because they work so great together.

Cannon , Max and Dylan.

We left a little early and then went home, got Blake and Aaron and then went over to our friends house. The Ririe's moved here in August from CA..they are a Toyota transfer.  There were 4 other families there. We had food and did a white elephant gift exchange. It was a lot of fun. Here is a fun thing--just this past Sunday Jaren Ririe told us that his brother is dating a person who we know from CA....(they were out in CA for the holidays). Both his brother and the lady were recently divorced so between the 2 of them there are 9 kids. Crazy. 

The next night we went and looked at more Christmas lights around our neighborhood. We were down the road where there is a pond and my lights on the car shined on an animal so I stopped the car. It was a beaver. What?! I have never seen a beaver in the wild. It was the slowest animal ever. They are also much bigger then I was thinking. There were cool houses, but the beaver was the highlight for the boys.
