Christmas came early

The first reason I feel this way is because last weekend it was FREEZING. We had temperatures in the negatives. Then came the snow, mixed with ice, just ice, a little more snow, finished off by ice. Now it is raining and according the weather man it will be sloppy wet, a little icy, but not white for Christmas.

The second reason is Jesse got one present early. I had to give it to him early or we would have missed out on the event. Some people may not know, but Jesse is a HUGE fan of basketball. So I bought him some tickets for last Monday nights game. They played a smaller school, Indiana University Fort Wayne, but Jesse didn't care. He was just excited to get to go to a game. I also thought it might be nice to go to a game against a smaller school because our chances of winning would be greater. Well, Purdue won!!! They beat the other team by 15 points so Jesse was very excited. Rosalee had a great time at the game too. She loved all the attention from the people around us, getting to yell, eating (of course), and the half time show. The "gold girl" was tossing batons in the air and shaking all over the place and Rosalee kept laughing and clapping. She clapped every time we clapped after Purdue made a basket. We even got her to say, "woo woo" a few times. I'm not sure if she was cheering or trying to say Purdue, but it was still cute!

They both were very focused on the game. It was great to see them having such a wonderful time. I'm pretty sure neither of them even knew I took a picture!

A true Rosalee photo! We bought a hot dog for Rosalee to share with Jesse, but (as you can see) she savagely attacked it and claimed it for her own. The couple behind us kept laughing at Rosalee's determination to eat it despite the fact she still has no teeth.

The people behind us took a picture of us. My auto flash didn't go off for the first picture but I wanted to show it so you can see how we pacify Rosalee. She started to fuss if we took the hot dog away so Jesse let her eat it. When the flash didn't go off, I asked if they could take a second picture. This time WITHOUT the hot dog! So in case you're wondering, Rosalee is looking at the man with the hot dog and pointing at the camera. My hair looks gross in the pictures but I believe in wearing hats, unlike some people I'm married to. :)

All bundled up and ready to go home after a great game!
