January 2016!!!

 2016 has come and started with a blast! It has finally turned cold in Marietta, and we already can't wait for spring! Basketball has started. It is amazing the difference a year makes!! Beckett is getting geared up for his Walker interview to see if he will be attending there next year. The year has started out great and we are counting down the days until our Disney cruise in February!!
 I can't believe that the pizza place I grew up eating has made it's way to Georgia! Everyone loved it so much that Jackson actually ate leftover pizza the next day!!
 For New Years, we had some friends over for some snacks and a bonfire. We then walked down to the Marietta square for the first ball drop! We went to the kids ball drop, which was actually a bunch of cows dropping to the ground. Aftewards, we came home and the kids played while the adults enjoyed a fire! We didn't make it to midnight, but it was a great night! Here are the kids dancing until the ball drop.
 Moves like Jagger!
 Getting ready for the cow drop! We somehow missed the memo that you were actually supposed to purchase a cow at Chickfila before New Years. All those cows were then dropped to the ground, and if it landed on the bulls eye, you won chickfila for a year! Next year we will be ready!!
 Ringing in the New year with my favorite ladies. Beckett is obviously thrilled....
 Couldn't think of a better way to spend the start of the new year than with these amazing gals!!
 Noni and Granddaddy have finally upgraded their phones to smart phones, so the kids wanted to send them their first picture!
 We have really been working hard getting this guy ready for his Walker interview. He did his first lego with only a little help; from mommy. So proud of him!
 As you can see from the above pic, this boy needed to a haircut! He went to a big boy salon in the square!
 The finished product! Such a cutie!! :)
 This boy loves his light bright! It has changed quite a bit from the light bright that I did when I was younger, but still just as fun!!
 So proud of our little chess player! He got 2nd place in Bughouse for all first graders!
 Another favorite of Beckett's....Panera!!
 It's  been cold, so the kids have been entertaining themselves inside. Who doesn't love a little game of 'Lava"!
 And there is always a nerf gun battle!
 Basketball has started and this year daddy is head coach. They have won their first 2 games! It's amazing how much a year makes. Now the kids are dribbling, doing layups. So fun to watch!
 Getting some advice from coach :)
 Baller!!
 Instead of the tongue hanging out like Michael Jordan, our trademark is the tongue pushing against the cheek.
 Setting up to shoot....
He scores!! Look at that follow through!!
