NFL Football Draft Weekend (April 28)

For those of you who have never participated in the NFL Football Draft Weekend at the Davis home in Tennessee, let me share with you what makes this weekend so significant. . . . . .

It all begins on Friday night when by 10:00 p.m. you must submit your draft picks (which NFL teams are going to pick which college football player and in what order, etc.). Yes, I thought about being the first girl to submit a draft sheet but I soon found out that it required more knowledge than what I had and more homework than what I was willing to do!! Oh, well.

Live coverage of the draft begins at 11:00 a.m. on Saturday. Of course, ESPN provides plenty of commentary before 11:oo a.m. This being my third draft year at the Davis home, I knew that it was very important to be in the living room prior to 11:00 a.m. since seats are limited. However there is usually always room on the floor for those arriving at 11:00 a.m.

*Note: Al arrived in the living room early and was able to secure a front chair seat. :)

This year, Johnna gets the award for being the wife who appeared to know what was going on when the first draft pick was announced. Do you think Aaron coached her?

The best part about the draft for me is getting to see two of my three sisters (We missed you, Joann!!) Poor Julie. . . she battled a yucky cold all weekend. Jonathan was also able to obtain front row seating for the draft.
It was so fun to finally meet Benjamin. And he is just as cute in person as he is on Daniel & Christy's blog. And Hannah is an awesome big sister.

Oh, and I almost forgot, there is also a dress code when attending the Davis Draft---It is important to wear your Tennessee Titans attire. Andrew is already taking good care of Ashley. He made sure she had a jersey!!

Thank you, Aaron and Johnna for organizing the weekend. They always do a great job of organizing the menus and making sure that everyone is well fed!! Catherine makes a very cute Titans cheerleader!! She loves to smile and clap her hands!!The Chandler family always looks forward to this weekend and are grateful for being "adopted" into the Davis family for the weekend.
I had to include this precious photo of Ben. Isn't he cute!! He obviously knows who is holding him. All of the kids love Grammy & Poppy!!

Important Note: The guys watched the kids while the girls went shopping on Friday. Regretfully, we didn't have our cameras to take pictures of the girls on their shopping spree. Should "Girls Day Out" become a Friday--NFL draft tradition???

We, ladies, were very grateful for the chance to eat, shop, and spend time together. It was a nice break from our normal routine.
We definitely left the kids in good hands. :) Thank you, husbands!!
