Peach Bowl Game day

We woke up on New Years day ready for some football!!

A little OOTD with my littlest (but biggest) fan. 

We walked over to the stadium- family picture time of course. 

And one pic with Nana

The girls in front of the Eagles before heading in. 

DJ came to see us for a quick pregame pic, hug, and best wishes before the game started. 

One of my support staff wife friends was there and we had to meet and say hi!!! 

Then we were ready for the game and to take on Arizona State.

This poor girl got a migraine half way through the game but she was a trooper. 

It helped that Scout was there to keep her occupied! 

If you squint and look through the bleachers, you can see DJ in his black sweatshirt on the sidelines! 

This game was tough!! We ended up winning in overtime and felt all of the emotions. 

The girls weren't able to go on the field after the win, but DJ and I facetimed them! 

Winning confetti! 

Champions. 

A winning video staff. 

DJ ran up to see his girls since they couldn't come down to the field. 

He flew home after the game, nana, the girls & I ordered pizza, called it an early night, flew home the next day and met DJ for lunch, and then he was back at the airport to fly back to Atlanta for the national championship site visit! 

 

Peach Bowl Fun!

A few days after Christmas, DJ set off for Atlanta, and the following Monday, we flew out to meet him! 

We headed to the stadium to load our bags, and to pick up a CFA breakfast, then we were off to the airport. 

We had lots of room on the plane! 

Within a few hours, we had landed; DJ met us at the hotel, and we were up to get settled in our room. 

We had a little charcuterie board waiting! 

And some gifts including this blanket- which is literally my favorite because it's so warm and cozy! 

The girls had a CFA blanket! 

We also received a commemorative football and CFA cow of course! 

We settled in to explore the hotel, and then we were off to grab dinner- DJ said he was sick of hotel food already! 

We walked a few blocks, grabbed a bite to eat, and then came back to the hotel to chill in the hospitality suite. 

There was a guy making balloon animals, so of course the girls had to get one! 

After some card games and fun, we were off to bed! 

The following days the girls and I were up for breakfast and they had to hop on the video games. 

We took Gretchen breakfast to the room, so she could sleep a little bit longer, and then we were off to stuff bags for the local children's hospital

A little elevator selfie! 

The girls had a fun time writing cards and stuffing bags for the hospital. 

At one point they were even racing each other (and me) and timing to see who could do it faster! 

After we finished stuffing the bags, we headed over to the Coca-Cola museum. 

I've never actually allowed the girls to have coke or coke products that often, so this was a little bit of an experience for them! We were ushered in to a room to see memorabila and to watch an inspiring little movie, before being released to the rest of the museum. And honestly, it was so crowded which made it hard to read anything! 

The girls did to taste test a new coke flavor! 

But Megan was not a fan! 

But you know, the photo ops were cute! 

The coke-a-cola polar bear was there, so of course we had to get a picture, but he was a bit scary! 

This is the couch from American Idol- I joked that the girls got a little brother because this kid would not get up!! 

Anyway, we ended up skipping some things and made our way to the tasting room. 

Obviously these girls are not coke fans, which made me kind of proud. 

After a few hours at coke, we headed back to hotel for lunch- chick fil a of course! And then nana arrived!!! 

DJ was in meetings, so we headed over to the college football hall of fame to explore. 

It was so fun seeing all of the college football helmets and finding all of the schools we've been at! 

I mean, she's seen a Heisman before but of course you have to strike the pose. 

The museum was fun and interactive- you scan your VIP pass when you arrive, and it puts your photo in all of these generated scenes! 

Maybe one day, they'll be college game day hosts! 

Texas Silver Spurs uniform. 

Because her Pops was in the air force. 

Eventually, DJ and Gretchen made their way over so we went back through the museum!
