I don't feel very clever lately with posting. I'm okay with it, my main goal is just to get it down right now.
Today we accidentally slept in. When we woke up we realized that Christine had 5 minutes to get up, eat, dressed, load up her gear and be at the field for the Brine Tournament. 3 lacrosse games today and 3 tomorrow (which she will not be playing in because they are on Sunday.)
Duff loaded the equipment, I put cereal in a large glass with milk and a spoon and off she went!
Fortunately the tournament location was close this year, right at RSM middle school which is ten minutes from us. I missed the first game and they lost by only one. But look at how pretty the mountains are! I wish the picture truly reflected what a beautiful scene it was.
Next two games they won well, and Christine played as the Varsity goalie for the first time both games. She will probably be the JV goalie again this year during league play and move back and forth to get some varsity playing time to prepare her for next year.
An action shot against Mater Dei, who they beat! Yes. (a private catholic school)
Inbetween games we ran and did the weekly grocery shopping, and then got home in time to shower and get ready for our annual neighborhood Christmas Party. We take turns hosting and this year it was at the Cooper's. We potlucked Cafe Rio chicken and barbacoa salad. It was really good. The gift exchange was mild this year in comparison to some others (!), but everyone seemed very happy with what we all ended up with. This year we got a collector's series of 4 pint glasses of The Beatles albums with a gift card to get their songs that are now on itunes!!! Pretty dang nice, since we are avid Beatles fans.
Lots of catching up and good holiday visiting with all our neighbors.
