Tradition

Every other year for the past few years, Notre Dame has played Stanford here in the bay area, just a few miles from my house, on the Saturday of Thanksgiving weekend.  And each year, our tradition of tailgating before the game and going to the game has become a bigger event.  My brother goes all out in the hosting/setting up/coordinating department!


Here he is playing with the new ND bean bag toss.


Lil' Guy can already catch and throw a football pretty well for a four-year old.



Ah! Sticks, dirt and rocks!  Perfect entertainment for Lil' Guy!



There was tons of food, but my favorite by far were these cupcakes my sister-in-law made!  Too cute!


We had great seats and it is always awesome to watch and cheer for the Irish in person!



Yeah, it was a tough loss.  And lil' guy was worn out from the torture of the Irish not playing too great.



This year we had another fabulous time, despite the sad loss.  But I can't wait for 2013!  Go Irish!!  Hey, at least we made it to a bowl game!  One more football game to look forward to!

Go Irish!
