Drew's Christmas Gift

Drew is a huge basketball fan and has always watched collegiate and professional basketball when he found time. The last time our high school basketball team made a run at a state title was when he was on the team. Years ago during college, when Duke came into our life, we named him that in part because we were watching a lot of Duke basketball at the time and he was our "blue devil". 

I was nervous about it, but I decided to surprise him at Christmas with tickets to an NBA game where he could see LeBron James play in person. The Oklahoma City Thunder are the closest team to us and also have some good players. I found their next game at home vs the Cavs and bought the tickets. To my surprise, he was actually surprised when he opened the picture of the court from the seats I bought that I had wrapped. I even drew a little stick figure LeBron on it.  

The time finally came and we headed for an overnight in OKC to see the game. 

 

 

We've been to a lot of Cardinals games, and a Chiefs game. Basketball is very different. Very loud and fast paced, and these players are unbelievable. They make everything seem so effortless. Like they are holding a tennis ball in their hand and dunking it into a hula hoop. Seeing Lebron play in person was really cool.  It was an awesome night!!
