Xander's Winter Activities

Winter was filled with lots and lots of basketball games. Xander had one of his football coaches as his coach and had several of his football buddies on the team so it made for a fun season.

A great block out!

He had a tough time making some of his layups but thank goodness he got fouled a bunch in the process. Unfortunately he needs to work a bit more on his free throws too.

Fighting for that ball!

Although his team struggled throughout the season, he had a ton of fun and that's really the main point.

Xander has been working hard in scouts and earned his First Class rank.

He has also had a lot of success in school, once again earning Honor Roll. He was extremely bummed because he missed having straight A's by a very narrow margin but we are still so proud of all the effort he puts in to doing well in his classes. He was also recognized with a special behavior award.

Way to go, Xander!

Youth activities are always fun and he invited his best friend Devin to the game night in January.

He also got together with friends to play sports at the church...

and to watch our friend Rayshod in one of his high school basketball games. Xander and his friend Andrew loved getting out on the court after the game (until they were chased away).

And of course we still try to get out on dates despite our busy schedule. Xander picked a trip to Barnes and Noble and a frappacino from Starbucks for our date in February.
