This year we are headed to Charlotte for the Belk Bowl. We had the opportunity to head down a day before the team to help with all the equipment and it was so much fun! On December 23rd, we backed up our car with way too much stuff and headed south.
We bet the equipment truck by a few hours so we spent our time hanging out with new and old friends until it got here. That evening we unloaded SO.MUCH.STUFF. I have such a new and different respect for the the equipment crew does and as silly as it sounds, I am so thankful I got to be a part of the behind the scenes crew.
On Christmas Eve, Jed and I were able to meet up with Jed's family. For Christmas this year, we decided to take our nieces and nephews to Build A Bear as their gifts. It was great. The kids were so excited and Build A Bear is something I always enjoy but to watch it through the kids was just the best.
We made it back to the hotel in time to meet up with the equipment crew and walk over to the Carolina Panthers football game. We were graciously given box seats to watch the Panthers take on the Falcons.
Unfortunately we couldn't stay for the entire game but the experience and the seats were great. We were back to the hotel in time for when the team and the rest of the staff arrived. Jed headed to work and I headed to the room where I could continue to watch the Carolina game from our bedroom window!
That evening we had a Video Christmas Movie night in one of the practice rooms. We all ate junk food, drank hot chocolate, hung out in pajamas and watched Elf.
Christmas morning was work as usual for Jed and he headed to practice for a chunk of the day. It gave me the opportunity to head over to Joel & Leigh's and spend a few hours that morning with the family for Christmas.
Hokie Christmas' are never complete without the Video White Elephant game and this year was a huge success.
With almost everything closed on Christmas, the entire Virginia Tech crew headed up the street to Strike City Bowling Alley.
It was a great time bowling and spending time football family.
