Michigan Basketball Game

Santa brought the kids Michigan basketball tickets for the game against Illinois.  The fun part was that some of the cousins and the VerKaiks also had tickets in their stockings!  The stars aligned and this ended up being the day Jim Harbaugh was announced as Michigan's new football coach.  The air was electric on campus and it was a really fun day to be a part of!

New billboards all around Ann Arbor

At dinner, we discovered that Devin Gardner (Michigan's quarterback) was eating at the next table.  He was incredibly kind and agreed to have his picture taken with 9 super excited kids.  

He signed autographs for all of the kids- they were so excited.  Thomas declared it to be the best day of his entire life :)
