Super Bowl

Food glorious food! The National Anthem.


Clare would only hold still for a brown blob to be painted on her face. Lorien and Wyatt were much more enthusiastic, a Pat's symbol on one cheek, a foot ball on the other and "Go Patriots" on their foreheads.
********************
Every Sunday during football season our family has "football parties". We all sit down to watch a game (or four...). Each family member picks a team they want to win and when that team scores you get a treat! The kids selection primarily circles around the color of uniforms. Wyatt is always certain to choose a team with orange or blue on their jersey and Lorien favors white or red. All the kids look forward to the Super Bowl as it is, naturally, the biggest football party of the season. We have lots of yummy food, cheer loud and proud and get to have our faces painted. This year Lorien and Wyatt really, really, really wanted the Patriots to win (because they were both born in Boston). Mom and Dad were cheering on the Giants. My Dad was always a Giant's fan so I didn't grow up routing for New England. We also lived in Boston during the big quarterback controversy of 2001. We were both Drew Bledsoe supporters so it has been tough to cheer for Brady ever since. We also love the 1972 Dolphins and were not ready to see their perfect season surpassed. Needless to say, it was an awesome game! The kids were disappointed, except for Lorien who at half time said she was cheering for what ever team won... GO GIANTS!
