Caleb's surprise

For Caleb's Christmas present, I have been planning a surprise for him. He LOVES the 49ers and they are doing really well this season. A couple months ago, I decided I would get him a ticket to a 49ers game. He will be going to the 49ers/Steelers game in San Francisco. The game is just before Christmas, so I decided I would wait until the day we are going to the airport to tell him. I got his store covered and arranged flights and hotel. To tell him, I made a onesie for Lily. On the front it says, "Merry Christmas! Pack your bags. We are leaving for the airport in 1 hour." Then the back has a 49ers logo and it says "You are going to the 49ers game."




I tried to get his reaction on video, but the room was too dark. So here is a video of Lily wearing her shirt.



When he read the shirt....he got out of bed so fast. I haven't seen him move that quickly in the morning ever. I could hear him in the bathroom saying, "It's Monday Night Football...I am going to Monday night football. But it's Friday today. what?? what???" He was super stoked and had no idea we were planning the surprise.

His friend Darren that lives in SF, got a ticket for Caleb and him. He will go to the game with Darren. Lily and I are coming along for the trip too.

We are super excited about the trip...and excited to be somewhere a little warmer :)
