Tailgaiting in November

As I say every year, I love fall. As usual we made it to one Aggie game this year. Of course this year it was even more exciting because we were playing Nebraska and this was coming after a win over OU 2 weeks ago. It was also extra fun because we got to spend an extra evening in College Station. I got to hang out with the Romansky's and Kevin hung out with his college buddies. Then on Sat we spent the day tailgating. The highlight of the tailgate had to be the fly over. That is a sure sign that I have little kids when I can't wait for the jets to come.
Here are the 4 college buddies. They don't get together often but when they do, I don't think they miss a beat.

And then it was on the game. It was an amazing atmosphere and of course a great win. The kids did pretty good considering it was a night game and Klayton has definitely turned into an Aggie football fan.
Then came the annual Thanksgiving game. It was a little different this year than it years past so lets take a trip down memory lane.
1st 2005 - we have little babies and ATM gives UT a good scare before they go on to win the National Championship
2006 - we upset UT at Kyle field and Klayton is just OK with being held by a proud daddy.

2007 - I don't know what happened to my pictures but I believe we upset UT again (but I'm sure someone will correct my if I am wrong.

2008 - We had a great time tailgating in Austin and even watched the corps march in downtown but lost (pretty big) to UT.

2009 - again no pictures but it was a loss to UT at Kyle Field.

2010 - the 1st time we have been favored at DKR in a really long time. The weather was cold so the kids stayed at home and we had a great time tailgaiting and enjoyed the game even more. I know all of you are sighing and booing and everything but as a relatively new Aggie fan we have to celebrate small victories.

Before I married Kevin the ATM vs UT game was no big deal. Now, it is the center of thanksgiving and thankfully Jeanette and Dad waited for us to celebrate thanksgiving a day late so hang around. More pictures to come
