What a Difference a Week Makes...

Well, last week at this time I was thrilled after experiencing my first football game at Soldier Field.  The Bears played a great game against the Seahawks in order to make it into the NFC Championship game.  I wasn't too worried at the time that the championship game would be against my husband's favorite team, the Packers.  The game was such a fun experience, it was hard to think about anything else!  The play on the field was great and for most of the game it snowed big fluffy flakes making the atmosphere unforgettable.  Thank you to my wonderful husband for the tickets, it was one of the best gifts I have ever been given.  I just LOVED it!  

Fast forward one week and our season is over.  Now add insult to injury, my husband and his family get to celebrate while my family has to break out the old Cub mantra...wait until next year.  I am trying to remind myself that it is only a game, but boy would it have been nice to see the blue and orange in the Superbowl.  Oh well.  One bright spot from today...Michaela did tell me this morning she wanted "a bear" to win!
Michaela dressed for the game.  Bears sweater, one green sock, one gold sock...looks like the socks won out.
