We were supposed to travel to Chris' family in South Carolina for Thanksgiving this year. But football. Since Fred's team won in their regional playoff game, that meant that they played on November 27th, the Saturday after Thanksgiving, and it also meant practice all weak. We reviewed our options and decided that we needed to stay home for Thanksgiving this year. It was nice to not travel, but we were sad at the prospect of missing family. On Monday, I woke up and found that our niece had posted on Facebook that they were coming up here instead. They weren't coming for Thanksgiving, but they would arrive on Friday. Both my father-in-law and mother-in-law said that they wanted to come up to see Fred play, so they packed up and headed north.
At very cold Osborne waiting for the game.
Bud and Rosie cheering for Clemson--to no avail.
Rosie even has glasses to go with her outfit, but Ashley needs to help her with them.
We enjoyed having them here so much. It meant a lot to all of us that they would travel that far to see a game. The game was VERY COLD and kind of sad, but they were here. When it was all finished, we came home and made a warm fire, ate good food and watched more football. It was a wonderful blessing that we all treasure.

How loving- they came to help you all celebrate Fred's accomplishments!
It is so very special when others change their schedules to accommodate your needs.
Paula,
Everybody does look COLD at the football game. At least Bed and Norma Gene did get up to see Fred play his last high school football game.
Glad everyone had a great time at the game, in spite of the outcome. Mom
