Weekend roundup

Friday night:
  • Cooper watches three Christmas specials -- Rudolph and two Frostys. He watched downstairs, where there is no Tivo and seemed to enjoy the commercials as much as the shows.
  • Tyra shops for a new Christmasy outfit and makes a couple of ill-advised, hurried purchases.

Saturday:
  • Cooper's basketball team, the Bulldogs, loses to a more talented kindergarten team. Last week, the Bulldogs won 2-0 in the team's season opener. (The majority of the team wanted to be called the Mavericks, as did every other Frisco kindergarten team. The YMCA allowed one Mavericks, one Mighty Mavs and one Mavs. Cooper's suggestion was the Firebolts, a Harry Potter reference, apparently. I don't think anyone on the team knew what he was talking about. I certainly didn't, but I liked his suggestion.)
  • Tyra drags the whole family out for shopping, as Steve agrees that the previous night's purchases weren't very good. Success on this trip!
  • We all go to Andy-Julie-Adam's house for pizza, popcorn and a movie. Most of the moms gather outside the media room with babies and toddlers while the dads wrangle active older kids during the show.

Sunday:
  • Steve performs beautifully in two Lessons & Carols services at church.
  • Cooper makes a guest appearance at Jim & Betty's church as a shepherd in the Nativity play. Before the show, Katie has great fun poking around the manger and doting on the plastic lamb and cow.
  • The Dallas Damms and the Frisco Damms dine at Tupinamba.
