Upward Basketball Banquet

Last night the boys attended their Upward Basketball Awards Banquet. It was decorated in this year's colors, purple and gold. We had a yummy meal of salad, baked spaghetti and dessert. While eating we enjoyed a highlight video of the entire season, which we also purchased of course.

Aren't they adorable? Believe me, they're faking their excitement about hugging each other.

All of the kids really enjoyed the ventriloquist (as well as the parents). At the end they received their "award"...an Upward basketball ("way cool" Payton said) and an Upward bracelet. Since Upward doesn't give trophies, like last year, I purchased one for each of them. They hated to see the season end, as did we. Although I will be happy to sleep in on Saturdays since there won't be any 9:00 a.m. games for a while!
