I had my last orthodontist appointment. Just like when I got my braces off, I didn’t know this would be it until I got there! I am going to really miss Dr. Francis.
Missouri Juniors volleyball practices have started! I have missed REALLY playing volleyball so
much! School volleyball was fine, but
I’m ready to compete! The bad part is
that practices were moved to Wednesday nights, so I am not able to make youth
group anymore. But we had our first
tournament in Parkville! I was
disappointed that we didn’t play specific positions and only played all
around. We played Club CoMo and beat
them in 2 sets (25-16, 25-17). Then we
played the MAVS (a very good team) and lost in two sets (25-17, 25-15). This put us at 2nd place in our
pool, and we played the 1st place team in the other pool. We won in two sets (25-20, 25-22!) This put us in the championship game, and we
played the MAVS again. We played hard
and the first set was close. The second
set wasn’t as close, but we came back from 20-4. We lost in two sets (25-23, 25-14) and took
second place! We were so excited!
Mom took Emily to Washington early for Thanksgiving so Dad
and I could go to the last Mizzou volleyball game. We took Lila and it was so much fun! I really enjoyed being at Grandma Kathy and
Grandpa Tom’s for Thanksgiving. It was
so nice to see them and just relax. We
went to Uncle Mark and Aunt Julie’s house the next day. Emily had fun playing with Chase, and I just
observed people and hung out with Alex and his girlfriend at dinner. We all went to the Christmas parade at night
like we had before.
Our family put up Christmas decorations the next day. Our house looks so festive! It was weird to not see Nana Arden and Papa
Rodney and family. I am hoping we can
get together for Christmas. Our family
went to Bass Pro to see Santa. He asked
us a lot of questions and took a lot of time with us. I guess we had two years to catch up on! Saint Nicholas came too, and I was excited to
have extra candy and make-up.
Mom and Dad have had some appointments on Saturdays, so I have been home with Emily. We don’t fight too much. I kind of like being in charge. It makes me feel older. We did a lot of holiday activities as a family. Emily had her holiday concert. I was excited to sit by Ella and see some kids I hadn’t seen in a while. We had a family movie downstairs which was nice and relaxing. We got to go through the Veteran’s United Christmas display again. It is really impressive! Mom took me Christmas shopping and we wrapped presents. We are almost ready!
