With Sunday's (spectacular!) Super Bowl marking the end of football season, I figure I should go ahead and share my favorite football photos of the season. Photos I forgot to share soon after they were shot.

My favorite football photos of this past season are — surprise, surprise — of my three desert-dwelling grandsons. Photos not of them playing football, but watching football. Well, even better than watching football, my grandsons were attending their very first professional football game!

Tickets to see their beloved Arizona Cardinals live and in action were the highlight of their Christmas holiday, courtesy of Mom and Dad — a Christmas Eve surprise for the avid fans.

A surprise I forgot to share here (despite the freakin' cuteness of those kiddos!). 

Better late than never, though, and dandy photos to finish up the football season.

Professional football season, that is, as I can pretty much promise ya there will be some grandkiddo pee-wee players gearing up for flag — and possibly contact — football in the next few weeks. 

Grandma's goal for the upcoming games: To be more on the ball sharing the pics to come than I was with the ones above.
