We Win!
You know we’re football fans at our house. College, NFL, flag in the backyard, we like it all! When I say WE I mostly mean Dan, Jesse, and me, but when we told the girls about the joy that is a Super Bowl Party they were suddenly interested in our beloved sport. (Much like the rest of America, I’m sure. Football game? No, thanks. All the best kinds of snack food, drinks a plenty, funny commercials, hype, AND my friends? See you there!)
We are a Sunday night kind of church, so we had to DVR the game to watch later at our very own Family Super Bowl Party. Pizza, spinach dip, bean dip, chips (of the pretzel and tortilla varieties), individual sized sodas, and brownies. We were all in the spirit.
As we loaded our plates and settled in downstairs (a place the kids don’t usually get to eat), Macy looked at the TV and called out, “I watch Carly” – that’s iCarly and, yeah, she totally missed the point. And was very upset about it.
Claire tried to do better. At one point she cheerfully shouted out, “Go Texas!” Which is very strange since we never cheer for Texas and this was an NFL game – New Orleans and Indianapolis. The wiser among us chuckled a bit so she tried again, “Or – whoever is playing!”
It was just fun to be together – no matter what happened in the game, as far as family time – We Won! It was also fun to see Drew Brees kissing his infant son while confetti filled the air above them. Oh, and it was pretty nice to win my Fantasy league over my father-in-law and brother-in-law who spend actual time thinking about it and calculating their decisions.
Yeah, that was definitely fun! : )

FUN!!!! Macy needs to learn to say “Who Dat”!
So glad you guys had fun! It sounds like a blast.
Scott REALLY missed getting to see any of the game, as we don’t have TV service at the house. He had to settle for what updates he could find on the internet…
Ahhh. This is GREAT stuff. And the picture should be a poster on somebody’s wall. I have to admit I taped the game, too. But only so I could fast-forward through the action later and see all the commercials. Claire is my kind of girl.
Don & Drew kept checking their fantasy points throughout the game and every time they mentioned you were beating them I cheered you on!!! Way to go Felic!! It’s great when the girls beat the guys in THEIR sport!
