Gavin's GT Weekend

While visiting our families for Thanksgiving we were able to attend a Georgia Tech basketball game and also the GT - UGA football game. Gavin seemed to enjoy every minute of the basketball game and also the tailgating prior to the football game. We didn't take him to the football game since it was cold, late, and that game is no place for a 9 month old (even though we saw a 6 month old leaving the game with his Mom after midnight...).

The whole family was in attendance for the basketball game. Jonas was there showing Gavin how it's done - he's a pro at going to GT basketball games. Gavin enjoyed watching the crowd, the flashing signs and those people running around throwing a ball. Tech even won; given it was only Mercer they were playing....but still.

Gavin had a great time at the tailgate for the football game. He was able to play with the leaves and grass (a highlight of the afternoon for him). Old friends were able to get some Gavin time which he always loves. He also showed his support for his team. He wore a GT hat, and a gold and navy striped shirt, but cold weather gear was the overriding factor in clothing that day.

I think that someone forgot to tell the GT linebackers and defensive line that we had a game on Saturday because it looked like they took the day off....ugh, if only we had an average defense to go along with Paul Johnson's offense.It was a fun getting to see our families and reconnect with friends that we hadn't seen in years. The outcome of the football game was a bit depressing, but we have better things to look forward with the ACC Championship game coming up this weekend. The only other bad part of the weekend was getting home from the game at 1:00am and then having to get up at 4:00am to catch our flight out of Atlanta (and G woke up at 2:30 crying...).

Here's a video of Jonas at the basketball game. He's perfecting his Bud Song dance moves...it's pretty cute.
