No matter the occasion, anytime the men are gathered at my mom and dad’s house, it’s not long before they shed their holiday-appropriate collared shirts and head out to the basketball court. Mind you, the basketball court is no more a hoop in the driveway, but you wouldn’t know it from enthusiasm involved. Most often, Knock-Out is the game of preference-a family favorite, but they’ve been known to have some more serious games. Especially after Brian took a Basketball class in a couple semesters ago. You may think he was just looking for an easy A, but no.. he was looking to up his chances of a two on two win against the guys in the driveway. This Easter was no different. While the rest of us ate chocolate, My two brothers {Brian couldn’t come home this Easter}, my brother-in-law, and my husband broke out in a sweat. Normally my dad is alongside them, but I suppose he didn’t want to make the rest of the boys feel bad with his raw & unstoppable talent.
Thomas was inside with his sister coloring, but after a while he had his face squished up against the kitchen window watching the guys. Before I could even finish the sentence, “Thomas, do you want to go play basketball with them,” he was out the door!
Basketball & Easter…just goes together..
