Christmas 2018

Scenes from Christmas morning 2018.

You may notice the matching pants in the previous photo. Those two--plus a pair of my own--were provided courtesy of Marilu's mom.

Our new professional Fortnite gamer. :)

Santa brought Marilu a portable herb garden. If times are tough, we'll rent our space to the local pot growers.

It wouldn't be Christmas if I didn't get a couple of board games. I'm also wearing the new LA Rams toque. I'm still a Falcons fan as well, but I gotta root for my old hometown.

Lucas tries out his new gaming gear.

And does a little dance as he prepares the eggs for breakfast. (This was supposed to be a video, but I can't get it to run so I'm just leaving the thumbnail for now.)

Hockey Team Photos

We just got back from Lucas's hockey game. It was their second straight loss and their second straight game with no goals. Suffice to say, his team ain't looking that great. On the plus side, Lucas is playing really well. I may sound biased, but he's easily the best defenseman on the team and so far this season, his +/- rating is overwhelmingly positive. Tonight was a rare -1 for him, but it's hard to go even or positive when the offense can't seem to find the net.

Here's a picture of the team from last week, posing with their jerseys. They got sponsored my a local restaurant so they are showing off the name tag for the restaurant.

And here's a team photo from a few weeks ago in their away jerseys. Unfortunately, we didn't get an official one done since, for lack of a better explanation, his coach screwed up. It's a long story, and I won't go into it here, but rest assured, I will pull Lucas from hockey before we play on this guy's team again.

Before we left for tonight's game, Lucas helped clean the ice off the car. I took a picture of him since he cut an "interesting" figure.
