June 12th was a big day in the Griffin House. England and the U.S. played thier opening games of the world cup against each other.
We had a few people over and decided to decorate the house accordingly; just in case people had trouble finding our house. When Jamie went out side to put the flags out I made sure to remind him to have some American flags flying as well!
Jamie also made sure to decorate his car for the occasion! On his way to get ice for the cooler the car behind him made sure to honk and get his attention as he waved a full size American Flag out the drivers side window.
Here is the pre-game party before the rest of the guests arrived. It was a good game and we were all a little tense when England pulled ahead in the 4th minute (Well most of us, Jamie was pretty happy). But the U.S. got a lucky goal in the 40th minute and the game finished 1-1; peace was restored. Both teams have big games tomorrow and hopefully they can both can come out with wins :)
