Smack Talk

We spent the weekend watching McKenzi play volleyball in the Redlands Rendezvous Tournament. She plays on the Oklahoma Peak Perforance club team 14 Metro. Her team did not fair so well on Saturday but got to play in a pretty phenomenal venue at the Cox Convention Center in downtown OKC. We got to watch many fantastic teams with a day full of volleyball action. On Sunday, her team played in the Bronze bracket and played much better. They won all of their games in this bracket only getting beat in the championship; therefore coming home with a silver medal. We are so proud of her. McKenzi is doing a great job of improving at her position as setter for her team. We're looking forward to more tournaments and fun.

Christmas Greetings from The Blackwoods

Limo + Christmas Lights + Friends = Fun

Kelly surprised McKenzi with a limo to take her and her friends around town to look at Christmas lights. Jay, the chauffeur, drove the girls around OKC and to Yukon to view all the spectacular lights in the area. Chesapeake's campus was one of the favorite sites on the tour. The girls had a great time!

'Tis Almost the Season

McKenzi, my mom, and I spent the week getting our house ready for the holidays. I believe this is the earliest in my entire life that I have had my Christmas decorations up and ready to go. My favorite decoration is the front door wreath and swags that we replicated from a picture in the Pottery Barn catalog. I actually think mine looks even better than Pottery Barn's. My mom is so crafty. I'm not sure why I didn't get any of her talent!
