Christmas party and Cowboys game

Saturday night we had the annual Stevens family Christmas party. This year was a little more special for Bob and Susan as it was also a 25th wedding anniversary. The highlight of the party for Liz and myself was the cake. Bob and Susan ordered a small wedding cake to celebrate their silver anniversary. Susan was teasing Elizabeth that in year 2033 we can have a joint sliver and gold anniversary party. OK i started to think about that and i will 50 that year...... crazy to think about that.... We also had a Chinese gift exchange where i got my own gift (season 4 of entourage) and liz got some more cupcake stuff.... (just what we needed but she really loved it).....


Sunday we slept in and had a lazy sunday morning. One of my vendors at work invited me to go to the Dallas Cowboys game on sunday night. So i was pumped. I have only been to a pre season NFL game when it was played in Norman when i was younger, so i was really excited about going.....

The game is at 7:15 so we meat for dinner around 4:45 and left the restaurant about an hour later to make a 7:15 game. Should of been plenty of time right? NOPE!!!!!! we get to the stadium with our Blue lot parking pass.... AND then the Grid lock starts.... we sat in almost pure gridlock for 2 plus hours. ... So we missed the first quarter of the game and we almost gave up even getting into the game.... we finally get to park and we are at the back of the lot and we were the 5th to last car to park in that lot. The lot we parked in was perfect for two reason 1) a straight walk to our seats 2) we got out and on the highway in 5 mins and didnt stop until we got to my car. So i guess the two hours of waiting paid off for the drive home. So all and all i would have to say NFL games are fun but nothing beats going to home game of the college you attended.....


Hope you have a great week
