Family Dance

We have family home evening 52 times a year. OK, maybe only 40 times. But no matter what, my absolute favorite week of FHE is the week we make our picks for the NCAA tournament.

March Madness, baby. It's here again.

On Sunday, Andrew (and Tyler) were counting down the minutes until the brackets were announced. Over the next 24 hours there was discussion over who would be making what picks, a quick refresher course on seeds and rankings and upsets, and a short history of the tournament with its trends and statistics.

But nothin' means nothin' till Glenn comes home from work with pages of empty brackets, and we push through dinner and song and lesson, and gather around the table with pencils in hand (some are brave enough to use pen) and start scribbling teams.

Are one of these brackets the winning one...?

Now that the teams have been whittled down to the very last, the picks have been entered online (the kids were excited to do that themselves this year!), we are just waiting for the the big dance to begin.
