12.31.2009: Family & Friends Football Game

On New Years Eve, Brent & Alisa and Vince & I decided to organize a little family & friends football game before our party. We had a BLAST!!! I don't know why we haven't done this before!! We didn't have a huge group, but we sure did have enough! Nana was the cheerleader and the photographer. So, thank her for the pics....as the rest of us were playing. She was also the keeper of the dogs...making sure they stayed around and didn't wander too far away. A lot of jobs for a little girl, but if you know Nana, she can handle it!

The game itself was so fun! We were exhausted by end of it. Felt like we played for hours, but was less than 2 I think. We all fell, scored, rolled in the grass, pulled flags, got tackled, etc. Vince ended up pulling his hamstring VERY badly (took a few weeks to recover and even ended up in the ER the following week)...but I wouldn't let him stop playing :) So, I am sure that didn't help in a quick recovery either. There was a very large hole hidden in the field that seemed to attract most of us. Mom found it a few times!!

Anyways, we had a GREAT time....and couldn't wait to get back home for some beverages, advil, and ice packs!!!!! Perfect way to start a great New Years Eve!!! :)
