I am excited every game day for the new experiences that await me, but the game against the Eagles was especially a game to remember.  The holiday season is a joyous time of year filled with laughter, love and presents. This game day we engaged in helping everyone have a special holiday by collecting toys for the Toys for Tots organization and the US Marines.  Everyone on the team contributed to making someone else’s Christmas a special one.  There more than 95 toys collected to be donated to children all across South Florida.  This fact alone made this game both memorable and special for me, but little did I know there was more in store for me!

This was the game we finally got to wear the Santa coats, a moment in the year I enthusiastically anticipated.  We were in full swing to celebrate the season’s cheer with our bright red coats and our white poms.  This game day was already off to an amazing start!  Game time was here and the stadium was packed with Dol-Fans ready to scream and cheer our team on, rain or shine.  We were greeted with smiles and cheers of wishes for a happy holiday season from goal to goal.  This was also a game where the pro bowl cheerleader was chosen.  We were all waiting to see who would go and it was Ariana! I was extremely happy that she would be representing us in Hawaii!

Between collecting toys, wearing our Santa coats, and the amazing fans we have this game was most definitely a game that I will never forget!

Happy Holidays Dol-Fans!
