Alexa's first Northwestern Bowl game!

And Alexa's first time watching Northwestern loose. She'll get used to it. We all do! Here I am with Alexa, all dressed up in Purple and Silver. Thanks, Jen & Family, for the sweatshirt and hat!

This year, Northwestern went up against Auburn in the Outback Bowl. Click HERE to read about the game, which was on New Year's Day. However, since yesterday's post was dominated by the news of Alexa's frist roll, I saved the photos to post today. Go Wildcats!

To watch the bowl game, we headed to a local restaurant where the Northwestern Club was having a watch party. We met up with my friend Julia, her husband and daughter Michaela. My dad, class of 1965, joined us as well!

Alexa slept through the first half of the game...

Then she woke up and was like, "We're losing?" What's going on?

Then things got exciting and Northwestern kept scoring!

But things got complicated... So many flags. Calls under review. She decided to stick with Daddy, who could explain what was going on.

Finally... She just couldn't watch anymore!

Final Score: Auburn wins 38-35 in overtime

Another great day with Alexa's aunt & cousins!

We had a great day today! Alexa got all dolled up and we went for a walk to downtown Bethesda. The weather was fabulous and we had a good lunch and spent some time shopping!

Later that night, Alexa put on her new Yankees World Champion tee shirt to hang out with her cousins!

Football Sunday!

Never too young for football Sunday, as Alexa is learning. She's still too little for her Steelers onesies, so she kicked up her heels in her Steelers socks and had some fun with her "Terrible Toddler Towel"!

If you notice her expression... She wasn't too happy that the Cincinnati Bengals beat the Pittsburgh Steelers. :-(

Alexa roots for the Hoosiers!

Check out Alexa and Daddy, all decked out in Indiana gear! Thanks for Al for the adorable IU gear. Now I need to get her some more Northwestern stuff to even the playing field!

Oh, btw, Alexa might have been good luck for the Hoosiers as Indiana knocked off Akron in a 38-21 win on Saturday.

Northwestern? Not so much. The Wildcats fell to Syracuse in a 34-37 shootout.

Meanwhile, our Saturday was spent at Buy Buy Baby picking up a few additional baby items... Alexa slept through most of it and we got in and out like champs!
