Go Cougars!

It's that season again--Glen's favorite time of the year...and I don't mean Christmas.

It's football season!! Glen was so happy to see Eli show up on the first game day of the season sporting the BYU logo. GO COUGARS!!


 And here's a motley crew excitedly going off to the BYU vs. University of Utah football game.
I didn't actually take their picture when they returned back home at 1 a.m., but rest assured their smiles weren't quite as cheery.
