A Great Ending!

Well, I have to say it was a pretty great weekend, and I really can't take any credit for that. It was wonderful to have our first snow day in almost 2 years on Friday! Who doesn't love a bonus day off?! It was fun to watch Danielle's team play & win their tournament game yesterday, and it was fun to attend the free throw contest with her yesterday afternoon. Danielle went to a birthday slumber party last night, so it was just the three of us. We went out for dinner and then stayed up watching a movie we wouldn't let Tyler watch if Danielle was home. That was fun. Then Danielle's basketball team played an amazing game today and beat the undefeated regular season champs. That was a lot of fun! This was the only team that beat us (twice), so it was that much sweeter to beat them during the tournment. Although we held the lead pretty much the entire game, it was a very close game. Both sides played hard. Danielle did great! She made several rebounds and did an especially good job playing defense. The other team has a girl that is a super star. She really is amazing to watch considering she's just a 4th grader. Danielle was the only one who could set a pick on her. Although the other girl was bigger, Danielle held her own and slowed her down a few times, allowing our team to score. It's really neat to see the plays the girls have been working on all season come together at just the right times. It was a great ending to a great season.

I'm looking forward to a great week, too. Tomorrow is date night. Ron and Danielle are going to a college women's basketball game. Tyler and I are going to...Taco Bell! (Jealous?!) Danielle has auditions for the school play on Tuesday. (Please pray for her to do her best.) Both kids were invited to an ice skating birthday party this coming weekend. Ron will be leaving for Russia, so it will be nice to have something to look forward to. Spring break is on the horizon, and we are almost down to 3 months of school left.
