Megan's Birthday Party 2012
December 30, 2011
Megan has been playing Basketball on a team with school
5th grade Jr Comets
she is enjoying herself to the fullest! She decided for her 11th Birthday she would like to go to a Womans Badger Basketball game. The game closest to her Birthday, and without going on a school night was December 30th, 2011. They played Ohio State, who were 13-0, and the Badgers were 4-8 so that meant for a tough game for the Badgers.Ohio State ended up winning...77-61. Megan wanted to invite 3 of her friends. Payton Zerfluh, Kirsten Oliver, and Sydney Bloedel. They were all excited. We went to eat before the game at the Nitty Gritty by the Kohls Center. This is a famous Birthday Bar, and Megan had never been there.
I have been there many times from age 18 thru I believe age 30 was the last time I'd gone. It was a Birthday tradition....one we may have started with Megan! She loved it, and so did the girls. They ate chicken fingers, french fries, pickle, and the worlds smallest sunde. Then we headed off to the game. Calvin has been working at the Kohl's center for games with CNC, so he knew where to go to get on TV!! We sat in the FIRST ROW behind the basket! Girls LOVED our spot. We made signs that said GO BADGERS and IT'S MY BIRTHDAY....GO BADGERS!!
Here the girls (and Tyler) found themselves on the JUMBO TRON!!!! You can see the excitement on their faces! Too CUTE!! The Badgers ended up loosing their game, but none the less they all had fun. We even got to see Joline Anderson. She was a player for the Badgers who was the all time leader in scoring for the Badgers, AND she was the all time scorer for high school! Simply amazing!!
When we were finished with the game we came home to eat a cookie cake and open presents. A sleep over was in order too. I believe after the game I heard Megan say to her friends...."this is the best Birthday I've had"!! Makes me smile, yet oh so sad....My baby girl...is 11!!!!!!!!!!
