It's kind of become a family tradition to go to the Christmas Tournament. It's a big basketball tournament with all the surrounding schools there. It's held at the university and is just a fun time! Usually EVERYONE goes, we all go eat before we go (this year at Buffalo Wild Wings), we all sit together, and we get frozen yogurt at the game. It was a great time. I end up running into lots of old friends. I'm already looking forward to it next year! This is everyone at Buffalo Wild Wings before the games!
As an incentive to sell more tickets to the Memphis Grizzlies game on December 26th, the Fed Ex Forum invited my hometown Zalma Bulldogs to play another 1A school before the Grizzlies game that night. Bruce, my step-dad, was asked to officiate. So, we got up early the day after Christmas and drove to Memphis to watch him during the game. These were all the officials.
An action shot of Bruce...but he's not really moving?
The Zalma Bulldogs...they unfortunately lost the game, but it was a pretty close one.
After the Zalma game, we went to the mall and out to eat. Then we went back to the gym for the Grizzlies game that night. Our section was chosen to hold up these "3" point signs. It was really exciting at first, and then it became a big chore! Mom, Jared, and Brad are showing what we looked like.
The DeClue Family...this is my mom's twin sister, Gina and her family.

Girl Band...Whitney, Lindsey, Erika, and Tina
For some reason, Uncle Kelly's family isn't in this picture with us and this is the only one I have. These are my dad's parents, Rodger and Tomye. They live on a big farm. I remember going to visit when I was little and thinking it was so cool that they had cows! We were super excited because they got us a pack 'n play for Christmas this year! It was great spending time with you guys!
Tab with Bill Bates (one of his childhood heroes)...by the end of the season, they had bonded. Bill's son is playing football at Arkansas State, so they had a connection!
Tab and Leon Lett...he looks HUGE!!
Tab with Shay's BB...I wonder why Tab is smiling SO big...don't you?
