So even though no one really cared about the teams in the Super Bowl - it is still a reason to get together and have delicious food! Anne, Dusty, Derek and Connie came over bringing pizza, snacks and home-made football cookies with them! We also made a white chicken chili (Mad About Food Cookbook). The soup was in honor of my Grandpa who always made delicious hearty soups for their "Soup-er Bowl" Party.
Anne and Dusty worked very hard on the cookies - cutting out the football shaped treats by hand!
Anne vowed they will never make them again - but they were pretty tasty!
They went pretty fast, but I did manage to snap a picture before they were all gone!
No Packer gear this year :( --- so Patrick decided to sport his Barry Sanders jersey. James is wearing a Dinosaur football outfit courtesy of the Ruble boys - though it already appears to be too small!
Big smiles!
James got passed around a bit and loved it when Connie would kiss his hands!
He did pretty well - only getting a little fussy when we got too loud. (I guess one positive for the Packers NOT being in the big game - doubt he would have appreciated all of THAT noise!)
Most of the cheering was when somone got points for our Super Bowl game.
We made a list of questions/guesses about the game and the commercials... length of the National Anthem, first beer commerical, first animal seen in a commercial, first commercial with a lady wearing a bikini, etc.
Then you got points if you guessed right. It was entertaining - though we already have more/better ideas for next year!
Derek and I tied in the end --- so we split the last big cookie as our prize!
I may or may not have dozed off at the end of the game - hence the extra squinty eyes!
Oh and in case you are wondering, the answers to the questions listed above,
2minutes 35 seconds (I believe the longest on record for the Super Bowl), Budweiser, an Ostrich and E-Trade... no one guessed those last two!
