A Weekend Away

Corey and I went for a weekend getaway to Gatlinburg,TN. We stayed at the Garden of Eden Cabins in the same cabin we stayed in 17 years ago. It isn't fancy but it is so cute! We went hiking, relaxed, watched TV and did nothing. It was what we both needed. It is always nice to getaway and spend sometime with just one another. 

Winter Jam '16

  Winter Jam has become a family tradition that we all love! We normally go to the Greenville concert since it is only 20 minutes away. Noah now always has lacrosse practice on Friday so we have started going to the Charlotte concert because it is on the weekend. Standing in line for 3-4 hours is part of the fun or at least it normally is unless it starts raining. My favorite band was Crowder and my guys favorite was Red. This year Zoe was invited by her friend Samantha got to go in with the early passes! 

Basketball

Zoe has never been afraid to try new things so when she asked to play basketball we signed her up. She learned so much in 6 weeks and had a lot of fun. Her team went undefeated and Zoe scored a few baskets. This was the last game of the season and of course it was against Brynn's team. 

Ballers on 3!!! 

Father-Daughter Dance

Our church has put on a Father-Daughter dance the past couple of years. It is probably Zoe's favorite night of the year. A few weeks leading up to the dance they take dance classes to get familiar with some the dances. The event is only offered through 6th grade so this was her last one. Thankfully I have been the photographed and get to be there to see all of the fun they have!  

 These keys were the girls gift for the evening.

The photo above is all of the 6th grade girls with their dads.

These girls are all great friends! 

Zoe's smile makes my heart happy! 

These dads are part of our village and I know they would be there for any of my kids if they needed them.

Turkey Shootout

Noah was able to play a tournament in November with the Upstate Tigers. It was his first game since breaking his leg in April. I was doing a competition in Raleigh, NC so I wasn't able to be there but Corey kept me up to date. Noah even scored! The team was a combination between his old team and his new team. The ended up winning the Gaston Turkey Shootout Championship for their division!
