December 2023

 Better late than never I guess!

December was such a fun month!  Between soccer, basketball and volleyball, team and class parties and trips to both Columbus Georgia and Ohio, we did it all!

We started the month off with the wrap-up of TSC soccer and the start of basketball for the four youngest and Travel volleyball for Hudson.

Tinsley is playing basketball for the first time and having a blast.  She has the stealing part down pat but is still working on the shooting!

Conner is playing basketball for the second year and is really starting to get it.  He is ALL left handed but has a pretty good shot and makes some really great passes!

Thomas is playing basketball with some baseball teammates and some school friends.  They are in a tough league against some very good (basically travel) teams but they are getting better each weekend!

Sullivan is playing for TSMS on both the JV and Varsity.  It has been a rough season BUT they did put together a few wins recently and she has enjoyed playing with the 8th graders! I think it is safe to say she is ready for soccer season to start back!

Hudson's travel volleyball team started training together and she is very excited.  They start games in January, so I am excited to watch them play!  It should be an exciting year!

Either way, all these sports are wearing us all out!

When we went to the mall to see Santa, we surprised Tinsley with an early Christmas present!  She got her ears pierced!  She was very tough and didn't cry.....although it took everything in her to hold those tears back!



Before we headed out of town for Halter Christmas, Tinsley played in her first indoor soccer tournament and her team won 2 games and tied , making them the Champions!


We had a great trip to Columbus to see the Halters.  Complete with the Annual Gingerbread decorating competition, ice skating and cousin time.






We got home just in time to make cookies for Santa and get ready for Christmas Day!




After Christmas, we headed to Columbus, OH to celebrate Grandma Frericks' birthday!  It was a cold and rainy few days but the kids got to meet a lot of cousins they had never met before which is always fun.

That is about it for December.  January brings us a whole lot of sports, back to school and hopefully some snow!!

Here are pictures of the rest of our December adventures:
