Helping Averly ask Nathan Elison to Sweethearts. We tried with very crumbly snow to build a snowman with the letters of Averly's name hidden inside. Great family activity!

Given's first visit to our dear friend, Jan Pabst, since his return.

Nathan's answer to Averly for the dance

With Given home, he took over coaching these girls and led them to their first 3 victories of the entire season! Nice to have someone take over who knows the game a bit!
