The Final Home Game

Saturday was our "last" home game of the season.... sort of :) 

We actually play at home the day after Thanksgiving, but the girls will be at my parents, so I'll be hanging sans kids at the final game. Kick off was at 6:30, and I was pumped for a night game, because we were able to actually get things done during the day! 
Ready to head to the game..... my sweatshirt is here
Gretchen was at her school play performance all day Saturday, so she missed the game. It was just the little girls and me, and they were ready. 
We got there early and DJ brought us our family passes because he forgot to bring them home. It was our Veteran's day celebration game, and the staff wore green shirts and sweatshirts, and I loved them. 
Thanks to a fellow wife, we were able to get a family picture before the game. 
And then the girls and I headed to Smokey's Midway. We tend to skip out on some of the pregame festivities because it's so crowded, but the girls loved the midway games!
They played at least 4 games, and didn't win a prize :( But I promised they could try again.... next year! 
As we were heading back to the offices, Adalyn wanted to say hi to the army guys hanging out. They invited the girls in and on top of the army vehicle for a picture! So cool! 

We watched the first few drives of the game from our seats, grabbed dinner, and headed inside to the meeting rooms for the rest of the game. 

Texas threw an interception in the end zone, and we headed on to the field. I texted my mom that we had just lost the game, and wouldn't you know, we somehow came back and scored and headed in to over time. We watched overtime from the tunnel. Kansas went for 2 on their drive, and we ended up loosing by 1. 

The girls found DJ on the field, gave him a huge hug, sang the Eyes of Texas with the team, and then spent some time playing on the field. 
Visiting Bevo is a must. 
And so is visiting Hook 'Em. 
Now that my girls are the "big: girls, they love getting to play with and entertain the "little" kids. Football really is family.
