Once again this year, we headed to Vegas for a Thanksgiving Football Tournament! We started this tradition last year and had a blast!!! And once again, we loved it in 2010!!! We stayed at a place that one of our coaches found online! It was a resort (timeshare) place. We each had a one bedroom with a small kitchen in it which saved tons of money cause we didn't have to go out to eat every single meal!! We all brought tons of food so that all our kids could do their normal, eat every hour routine!!! For Thanksgiving last year we all went out to eat and spent way too much money for what we got! So, with the kitchens this year we had we thought, "We can make Thanksgiving dinner!!!" It was so cool and yummy! We had turkeys in roasters, veggies, potatoes, desserts and much, much more!! At the resort, we found a banquet room up on the 10th floor that we took over with all 35 of us!! We felt very important!!! It was an awesome day filled with football family and great friends!!! The day didn't end for me for a VERY long time!!! A few of us moms headed over to Old Navy after we ate since they opened on Thanksgiving. Then, we went back to the hotel, rested for about an hour and then my friend Ashley and I hit the road about midnight and stayed out shopping until 8am!!! We got great deals but we were BEAT all day Friday!!! Overall, our 5 days of hanging out with friends, watching football and shopping was fabulous!!! And to top it all off, Tyler's team, The Demons, came home with another 6 foot trophy!! This is the 3rd this team has won over the last 2 seasons of football. Congrats Tyler and Ryan and Jacob too!! We all had a great football season! I love watching the boys play all sports but football is my favorite!!! Ok, well baseball is fun too!! Here are some pics of our fun weekend!!

Tyler's team made it to the Championship Football Game!! They are such awesome boys! Many of them have been playing together since 3rd grade! (They are now 6th graders) We didn't win this final regular season game but they played hard. It's always up in the air when it comes to playing Virgin Valley!!! But, now we are done with that on to the first of 2 tournaments! This weekend we go to Mesquite, NV for 3 days for a Youth Football Invitational. All 3 of my boys are playing in this tournament. Then we come home Sunday and head out again on Tuesday for a Thanksgiving Day tournament in Las Vegas, NV for 5 days!! Tournaments are so much fun and all the boys are looking forward to an awesome 2 weeks of MORE football!!! Then...we start basketball!!! I can't even think about that yet!!!
