With the
Holiday season quickly approaching; our family left The Netherlands to travel
back to the States to be with the rest of our family. Stockings were hung,
presents had been purchased and the tree was trimmed. We arrived in Dallas with
our family already gathered and waiting. And while we always go to mass on
Christmas Eve and open presents Christmas morning, there was one gift from my
daughter and her boyfriend that we got to enjoy early. Christmas at Jerry’s
house. That would be Jerry Jones.. owner of the Dallas Cowboys.
The Cowboy’s
would be playing the New Orleans’s Saints and the game would start at noon. And
in true classic football style, we decided to tailgate before the game. We
arrived at the stadium at 9:30am.. broke out the cocktails and the grill to make breakfast burritos with grilled sausage, scrambled eggs and salsa.
Heading into
the stadium, we were thrilled to run into our friends Karen and Ed. Hugs,
laughter and catching up with each other…. Priceless.
The Dallas Cowboys
are known as America’s team. They are as iconic as they come. Even the roof was
open that glorious day so that God could watch his team. Tony Romo lead his
team through a tough match and the Cowboy’s Cheerleaders delighted the crowd
with cute little Santa outfits on.
The Saints
came out on top that day after going into overtime. But the true gift of that
day was the time spent with my family. It’s memories like this that make life
so precious.
Flying into
America and getting to watch one of the best football teams in America, the
Dallas Cowboys…..Outstanding!
