Deck the Halls (and ceilings)!

Remember how I mentioned that two-week holiday called March Madness that Ryan loves to celebrate? Yeah, well, we certainly decked the halls this year, ornaments and all!!

From here:

You have a perfect view of this:

and this:

On March Madness Eve, we received a text from Ryan's brother, Craig, proclaiming that he had made the biggest tournament bracket ever, and included the measurements. At first we thought it was cool how big it was, but then we interpreted it as a challenge. Sooo.....

The next day we hung our ginormous bracket with care,

In hopes that Kentucky (for me) and Kansas (for Ryan) soon would be there (in the center).

Then we nestled all snug in our bed,

While visions of upsets danced in our heads.

While Ry's in his element, sporting a BYU hat,

I could now settle down for my two-week nap.

When out of Ry's mouth, there arose such a clatter,

And I sprang up from the couch to see what was the matter.

In front of the T.V. I flew like a flash,

Threw around some pillows, causing a few things to bash.

Now the games were really turning into a good show,

Because teams were coming up from way down below!

When what to our wondering eyes should appear,

But some small little schools causing some fear.

With five little starters, so lively and quick,

I knew in a moment, I had the wrong pick!

More rapid than jayhawks, the panthers they came,

And we whistled, and shouted, and called them by name;

"Go N. Iowa! Go Ohio! Go St. Mary! Go Murray!

Go Cornell! Go Butler! Now win in a hurry!

Drive inside! Pass outside! Shoot up the ball!

My bracket's shot anyway, so play with your all!"

With the stadiums filled full of fans that attend,

It's unfortunate that (stupid)Duke put Butler's streak to an end.

But there's aways next year to make things right,

So for now, Happy APRIL, and to all a good-night!

And just so you know the true size of this sucker, here you go:
