(“Uncle” Peter and Damian, Super Bowl buddies!)

So how about them Saints?! Okay, honestly I mostly chattered with Shannon and Andrea through the actual game since I do not understand football, but Michael and Peter said it was a great game. I watch the Super Bowl for the commercials, but is it just me or have the commercials since the “wardrobe malfunction” been progressively more stupid? And the halftime show? I love the Who but they were… a little past their prime preforming years? Either they weren’t really singing/playing or everything they did was on a time delay. A Rock ‘n Roll lifestyle has not been kind to them.

It is always great to have our friends over, any excuse for a party right? And the Super Bowl is about the food too. Andrea put together a wonderful build-your-own Mexican food tray. Andrea and Peter also brought J.K.’S Scrumpy Hard Cider, officially my favorite cider now. If you haven’t tried it, give it a go, I dare you to tell me it’s not amazing. We actually ran out of drinks before the game started (whoops!) but Andrea was nice enough to do a store run for us. I made popcorn and later (once Ivy let me put her down for more then 5 minutes, ah parenthood) I made orange chocolate mousse.

Speaking of parents, maybe it is the mommy in me but I couldn’t help but smile when they showed Brees holding his little boy after the win. Those giant noise dampening head phones on the babe were pretty cute too.
