What a night to remember! Christian was invited to his first professional basketball game with our neighbors. As if that wasn't enough of a surprise filled with excitement, he was just getting started.
Upon arrival to the American Airlines Center, Mike was showing Christian around and an usher noticed the two of them. She asked them to return at a specified time to greet the Mavericks, as they entered the court. They high-fived the Mav's: Dirk Nowitzki, Jason Terry, Josh Howard, Jason Kidd...and the rest of the star players! Christian was also spotted by some notorious fans and thrown "Mardi-Gras" beads (yes, he caught them) and a headband. Mike had gotten him a foam #1 finger (pictured above) and his jersey. He felt like a superstar!
He wasn't done yet! Mavs were aheade by 30 pts at the half. The cameraman wanted to catch some awesome kids. Christian was a little bashful the first time around. Once Daddy told him that Mommy was watching and might see him on TV he decided to cooperate. Luckily, I had decided to record the game "just in case". Good call. I was on the phone blabbing away then all of a sudden, "That's Christian!! My son is on TV! Oh my goodness!!!" I couldn't believe it. What a BIG night for such a young guy.
