If you haven't already noticed, it's college football bowl time. For the past few weeks, teams have been dueling it out to be winners of various bowl games. The college football season will finally come to a close next week as the Fighting Irish of Notre Dame take on the Crimson Tide of Alabama. What a great way to end a fun season of college football! (And yes, my SMU Mustangs pulled out a bowl win in Hawaii on Christmas Eve!)
This year, my oh-so-competitive family is having a bowl pick tournament. We've got 4 generations of family members fighting it out this year for the title of Bowl Pick Champion. And much to everyone's surprise, Baby G is cleaning everybody's clocks--with her Mommy close behind in 2nd place.
Our family has a "sponsor" this year for the bowl tournament. This means that none of us put any money into a pot and only one of us can take home the sole prize gift card. We don't have an age restriction on our family games, but we do require that all participants have been born. Thus, Baby G just barely qualified for the 2012-13 season. At the moment, it looks like she is starting her life out on a very competitive note. And it also appears that her Mommy's ability to pick football winners was not just an anomaly last season. (I filled out both of our brackets.)
Anyway, picking ball game winners has become a fun activity in our house. It may seem weird to some. But hey, to each her own. Right? Some families play cards; some play board games; and my family picks winners. So to our newest family addition--Way to start out as a winner little girl!
And good luck Notre Dame--we picked you!!!
Way to go Gracie!!! Someday when you follow the steps of your mommy and your aunt and put on that cheerleading outfit, you will be one of the elite who actually knows what is happening on the field!
