High-Low Weekend

What a weekend of highs and lows, huh? That is if you are an Alabama fan. I had such a sick feeling on Saturday night, though I am certain it was nothing compared to what the team felt, who had come so far and who played a great game. Actually both teams played wonderfully. And I agree, Tebow, is all they say he is. Amazingly talented! I know Blogger Troll is happy (Gator fan). We still have the Sugar Bowl ahead, so we have to put it behind us now and focus on the game at hand. ROLL TIDE!
Highs? The Helena Christmas Parade. There were so many people in attendance. I thought it would be a smaller crowd due to the game, but I was proven wrong. It goes to show, everyone loves a parade. I was so happy to see a few bloggers in attendance too. It's fun to see familiar faces-those who have become friends through the blogging world.
Also, who wouldn't be happy to get a vist from Santa? He came by long enough to have breakfast with some lucky children, who had the advantage of having them all to themselves for quality time. There were who had some long list of toys but Santa fielded each and every request. Thanks to my friend, Diva for arranging his special appearance and asking me to take pictures at the event.
Pictures from both events are on the slideshow below.
Finally, on Sunday night Big Daddy took me out to dinner to celebrate the annivsary of our first date together. We had a nice supper out, minus kids and happy meals (not that there's anything wrong with it!). There was no need for my referee uniform! Sweet! One can enjoy food so much more without arguments at the table over who is "more cool" or "better" at something. Big Daddy knows that it is always me.
I hope that your weekend was just as wondeful (despite that game)
Roll Tide! Merry Christmas!

Happy 1st date anniversary! I think y'all played a great game. We are Gators at our house, though and when we win, the hubby is happy!

Anyhow....sorry. I'm really neutral.

Happy Anniversary of your first date! :) I am glad you did dinner. And I also want to know where you ate! Mine and the Prince's first date was Valentine's Day...we will never forget that. ;)
