Train Day

After we got back from Ludington, the boys decided to set up the trains and little Christmas tree in the basement. It was sad to set them up without Grandpa, but the boys tried to do things the way he used to.

Here are some photos from previous Train Days. The boys have some great memories with their Grandpa.

Bronco Tournament in Ludington

Will's Bronco hockey team had a great time in Ludington this weekend at their first tournament of the season. They were Fenstermacher Tournament Champs! Phil and Will drove up on Friday night and got settled in the hotel before their first game at 8:30 pm. They beat the Muskegon Junior Jacks 9-0. On Saturday, they played their second game at 11:30 and beat the Walker Hawks 10-2. Then they went back to the hotel for a team lunch and some relaxation. Alex and I stayed in Kalamazoo so he could play in his hockey games on Saturday morning and attend a birthday party for a classmate. Then we drove to Ludington in time to watch their third game at 6:30pm. This game would determine if the Broncos advanced to the Championship game or played a consolation game on Sunday. They defeated the Lakeshore team 5-1. We all went back to the hotel for a team dinner and the boys were able to play and swim for a while. The championship game was against the GRAHA team. The boys played hard and won 7-2. Will played really well and even scored a goal in the championship game. They were so excited to received their team and individual trophies. Here are just a few of the photos from this weekend. I love the celebration shots!

Thanksgiving Play

The second graders performed a little Thanksgiving skit today after their "Friendship Feast." Alex was one of the narrators so he had a lot of lines! He is in the center of the front row - wearing a grey shirt with blue sleeves.

Tournament Ready

The Bronco moms got together last night to make hotel door signs for our first tournament this weekend. We have a great group of families on the team - Ludington should be a lot of fun.

Skating with the Broncos

We had fun at the annual "Skating with the Broncos" event at Lawson. The boys enjoy the free skate with the players and always display their autographed poster in their rooms.
