The HFFL

Well, football season is upon us once again. Many hours are spent watching favorite teams win or lose and yelling at the TV even though the players cannot hear you. There are lots of snacks and carmel popcorn at our house. But, the best part of the football season is the HFFL. A few years ago, Gabe's family decided to do a family fantasy football league. It has turned into a really fun tradition for his whole family, thus the Hicks Fantasy Football League. Gabe's dad, all of the brothers and sisters, some of the nephews, and some of the sisters in law all take part. Good clean competition brings the family closer together, not to mention the time we spend on draft day. The HFFL draft was held on August 29, 2009, at Dan and Christine's house. They were wonderful hosts and we had a great time.

Getting ready to get started.

Who to draft, who to draft, who did I draft?

"I'll take........" are the famous words of the draft.

This is very serious business!

Thanks to Grammy, Christine, Brittney, and Chandler for entertaining kids.

This is a time Gabe's family looks forward to every year. There are so many laughs and memories each year. I am thankful to have such wonderful in-laws!
