Bucs vs. Oakland... Last game of the season

The last game of the season Todd wanted his brothers and step dad to come to the game, so for Christmas we made sure that happened. Unfortunately the Bucs lost, again, and also lost their chances of a spot in the playoffs this year. Some of the campers below were not too pleased about that.... but overall everyone had a great time!

The Champs Bowl- Wisconsin vs. FSU

Todd surprised me with tickets to the Champs Bowl in Orlando, Wisconsin Badgers vs. Florida State, which was two days after Christmas. We couldn't have the Badgers only an hour away playing a football game and not show our support. Aside from the Badgers getting beat and us telling you what we REALLY think of FSU fans... we really had a great day :)

Here we are making our own little tailgate... the weather was gorgeous!

Showing our Badger spirit!! There's always next season.

The Wisconsin Marching band put on a couple great performances.

At least we had one thing better that day than FSU.... the band :)

BUCS vs. CHARGERS! No... they did not WIN!

Our good friends Damon and Brenda were in town the weekend before Christmas and we all went to the Bucs vs. Chargers game together. The weather was beautiful but the game not so great since our team lost. It was a fun day though. Only took a few pictures... Enjoy!

Friends, Charolette and Troy

Us! :)

Our Christmas Party.... Merry Christmas

Although this post is a bit late, we do hope everyone had a wonderful and blessed Christmas. The weekend before Christmas, however, we had some friends and family over for our annual Christmas party. It was so great to see everyone and to celebrate the season together!

A Girls Trip to Chicago

The first weekend of December I made my annual girls trip to the Windy City of Chicago. Every year my mom and I go to meet up with some of our most special girlfriends. We look forward to it all year :) The weather was cold but we saw snow and it helped put us in the Christmas spirit! Here are just a very few of the pictures .

Miss all you girls!
