Tucker goes to State, AGAIN!

It was a crazy week but we headed to the airport Tuesday afternoon to head to watch Tucker and his team play in the state football game! 

We met up with Shelle, Cody, Tripp, . . . .at Texas Live for dinner that night. 


Then we headed back to our hotel across the street! 
Our view from the room was where Tucker was playing! So close. 
We headed down to meet Shelle and fam for brunch before the 2pm game and ran into Tucker!  His team was staying in the same hotel. 
Tripp was nice and was our uber driver to brunch and to the game! 
Got our seats!
We had to go see Maci in the band and get a picture with her!
She played before the game and at half time! They were so good for such a small band. 


The game was awesome and Tucker played so great! Interception, amazing kicks, QB for a bit, and more! 
We met them across from the stadium real quick for pictures before they headed out and we headed to the airport. 




Back to back state champs for football and basketball!  What an awesome high school career and he's on a junior!

Madi's Final Christmas Piano Recital!

Madi invited Hunter to her piano recital.  This is huge as her friends have always wanted to come watch and she always says no. :) 


Her song was beautiful and as usual all the Christmas songs are so fun to listen to and appreciate this time of year. 




Madi's fan group!

All the Christmasy Things!

Madi in her velcro rollers cracked me up the other night. 

December 14: He hid the candy canes pretty hard this year! She needed some hot/cold help to find a few. 
Trying all the yummy jerky options Grandma and Grandpa Heider sent us! 
After dinner last weekend, we went to get ice cream then look at lights in our matching pjs again. Hunter was a trooper and joined right in. The ice cream line was long so these two guys jumped out in matching pjs and got our ice cream super quick. I couldn't stop laughing! 
Hunter doing his typical stretches! 

December 15: Fred brought a mini ginerbread house for Madi to make. 


December 16: She hates popping balloons was brave and got some money!
December 17: Who doesn't love milk duds!?!
Wednesday night, Elly, Madi, Alyssa and their boyfriends had a friendly gingerbread house decorating contest!


Madi said the girls won! 
Cheering on Elly, Alyssa, Baylee and team at Memorial HS the other night! 
Wing Stop for dinner before the decorating contest!
December 18: Fred knows how much Madi loves good dark chocolate. 
Can't wait for Christmas!

Senior Volleyball Banquet!

 

Last Wednesday night was Madi's Senior Year and LAST volleyball banquet. 
Hunter was able to join her.


This is such a great varsity team! 




Hunter was a good sport and held her purse while we took a family picture so I had to take his picture too. 




So thankful to get to watch her for the six years play the game she loves!
