How Sweet It Is: Ram Fam

Tim and I have 4 VCU diplomas between us (Tim's the one to be impressed with... he has 3 of the 4), so watching the Rams advance in the NCAA tournament has been very exciting. Tim's dad and stepmom have season tickets to VCU basketball so they were able to score seats to the Sweet 16 and Elite 8 games in San Antonio last weekend. In between the games they drove up to FW to spend some time with us. The timing was perfect since Nigel's birthday was Friday. We saw Grandma McDonald not too long ago, but we hadn't seen PaPa since September. Needless to say, Nigel was very excited! After lunch and Nigel showed everyone his new toys, we drove them around downtown FW and to the Stockyards to see the longhorns walk down the street. On the way back to the house we stopped by Riscky's for dinner so grandma and PaPa could sample Texas beef barbecue. Then we had birthday cake and opened some presents. Grandma and PaPa gave us a Wii for Christmas, so to go along with it they gave Nigel a race car game and steering wheel. Nigel had a really good time playing the game. Our visit was short since they had to drive back to San Antonio the next day, but it was so nice to see more family. We're looking forward to spending more time with them this summer when we visit RVA.
