What a Day! Celebrating the BlackJack's Victory and Welcoming Christmas!


We had the best Black Friday ever!  No shopping for us even though we spent the day downtown.  The Dawson-Boyd Blackjacks football team played in the Championship football game at the dome--and WON!  It was so amazing to see the fan support and great sportsmanship.  It seemed like the entire town of Dawson was there.  Jamie had a great time watching his hometown team win their first state football title.  And, it was extra sweet for him because his friend is the head coach, and is a new dad as of a few weeks ago....he and his wife recently adopted a beautiful baby girl. 


We met Corey and his buddy, Kirk, at the game.  Griffin was excited about that!!
 They won!  HUGE celebration!
 Yep, I have Jamie's jersey on!  :)



Griffin was so excited to ride the light rail!  We went to The Loon and met up with a bunch of Dawson buddies.  Cynthia, my college roommate joined us!


Typical Dawson folk behavior.

G and I left the party for a bit to watch the Holidazzle parade.  The weather was perfect.  It was a great start to Christmas for us! Griffin was amazed.



Then we headed over to the 8th floor auditorium at Macy's.  It was fun to take him to a place that I've been many, many times.  He was so excited to see the elves and all of the magical displays.


He even had a visit with Santa!

Exhausted from a memorable day!  (He got hot in the car so took his shirt off!!)
