Atlanta Trip part 2

The quest for the perfect game attire for Charlotte began almost as soon as we found out we were having a little girl. Well, actually before then since we bought a game day outfit for a boy and for a girl when we found out we were pregnant! Anyway, Charlotte has a closet full of cute game day clothes whether they are crimson or have elephants. She has tons of clothes in general that are elephants like the onesie I blogged her "Roll Tide" post in. But I didn't think about having to decide which outfit she was going to where when!

For this first game Charlotte and I planned to stay back at the hotel. In Atlanta the transportation to and from the Georgia Dome to Buckhead is not the most pleasant and even though we had a form of transportation that would have been very nice, we didn't want to have Charlotte's first game experience where we couldn't really leave by ourselves whenever we want. In Tuscaloosa it will be easy for Charlotte and I to go home during the game while Jason stays to watch but in Atlanta, not so much. But even though we were planning on staying at the hotel there was still a pre-game buffet that we were invited to and we wanted Charlotte to be game ready!

So I debated between putting her in her elephant Trendy Tot dress that I bought back last spring and her blue elephant smocked dress. I figured that she needs to be in crimson for her first actual game and for this game she could just go with elephants so I chose this little dress. And I love the mini-photo shoot that we did before we left the room! Thank goodness for a hotel with cool chairs and pillows!

Isn't she just the cutest thing!!?!? And the dress with her pink elephants is just too cute!

After Charlotte's photo shoot we went to my parents room and we took some family pictures...

Too bad Dad was the one taking them and not in the picture! Also, too bad that Charlotte was too mesmerized by the tv to look at the camera! :)

We all enjoyed meeting everyone at the pre-game festivities and then Charlotte and I went back to our room and everyone else went to the game. Charlotte was a trooper and stayed up and watched the first half with me. She started smiling when I moved her arm to do the "Rolllll Tideeeee Roll!" for kickoff!

Overall, it was a great weekend and we enjoyed every minute of it! We learned that Charlotte can do pretty good in hotels. That she doesn't mind large crowds at sporting events. That she likes to swim and splash her Daddy in the face. And that she loves the Crimson Tide!
