Super Bowl Visitors

I don't see what all the hype is about Super Bowl Sunday. To me it's just like any other Sunday, except people get invited over and I have to prepare lots of extra food.

The Goldens were invited. Caroline was so happy to see the pile of new, colorful necklaces for her to play with.


Brooke seemed so pleased with herself when she showed us all the stuff she'd found upstairs in my Primary box. For some reason she thinks that box is her personal treasure chest.


Ben was invited to come to the party. He brought along all of his roommates. They're always in when food is involved.


The Excells were invited to come, but they chose another party destination. Too bad for them. We made two batches of homemade ice cream. YUMMMMMMM!



It wouldn't be Sunday without popcorn.


The guys might say the football game was the highlight of the evening. My highlight was what I saw on the floor of our closet.

I found Brooke's belongings all folded up and put away very neatly.


Another Super Bowl Sunday has come and gone. Maybe next year I'll actually know which two teams are even playing.

But, isn't the Super Bowl all about the food and the commercials anyway? Who even cares about the game?
