Holidays with the family and more basketball

My mom and brother were able to visit for a week during the Thanksgiving holiday. It was my mom's second and bro's first trip to my home for the next three years. They did a little more touring together since I had to practice but I was able to spend a little time with them. We also spent a little time with an old family friend, Katie Dunn. Her husband is playing basketball for a team in Konya, Turkey and our schedules worked out where we could hang for a while. The mom and bro saw 2 pretty exciting games while they were here, both which ended in our favor. I will be seeing them and the rest of the Berger clan for the Christmas holiday which is always guaranteed to be a fun time.

On the basketball side, we have been rolling along nicely. We lost to Spartak (the oober good Russian team we lost to earlier) but not by as many points this time. :) We've won the rest of our Euroleague and Turkish league games. Most of the games have been pretty tough but we've managed to pull out victories. After next week's Euroleague game against Italy we'll head into playoffs.
