Super Bowl 2011

Last night was the Super Bowl!  I know at least one person who was excited...
Chuck and Lou Ann invited all of us over to their house for the Super Bowl this year.  Brody and Barrett looked forward to it for the past week!  Anytime the word "Super Bowl" was spoken on TV Barrett shouted to me, "THEY JUST SAID SUPER BOWL!!!!!"  Brody asked me daily how many hours and it was until the Super Bowl (probably because he knew how many days)...and by Friday he was asking me, "How many seconds is it until the Super Bowl?"  lol! 

Each year we have a complex competition during the Super Bowl.  Not only do we pick point spreads, we have to answer lots of other questions (like "What will the temp be at kick off?  Who will score the first passing touchdown?  What will the first commercial be about?" etc)  I won the first 2 quarters, but Billy edged me out for the overall prize by one point!  The trophy was awarded to him by the 2010 champion, Chuck.
Brody and Barrett took turns holding the prized trophy.  (Barrett even smiles his cheesy smile when someone else is having their picture taken!)
 
We missed Kyle, Susie, & Kent last night.  Caleb was also MIA, but we got picture updates from him as he was actually AT the Super Bowl!  He didn't have seats in the stadium, instead he was given a ticket where they got to stand outside the stadium and watch the game on big screens!  (Crazy that you have to pay to do that! lol)  From the pictures it looks like he had fun...and he can say he was at Super Bowl 2011 at Cowboys Stadium!
We had so much fun last night...but ate WAY too much food!  I think all the sugar the boys had was a shock to their system.  Barrett was up several times during the night.  Of course, they're out to the world right now and I need to get them up so we can go to the gym.  I can't skip today after all we ate last night!!!

I love the trophy you all pass around for guessing right....that is such a cute idea! Who came up with that?

Cindy - I think the trophy is one of Tyler's old trophies. We've had prizes during the Super Bowl since I was a kid (it's usually candy)...but a few years ago the Championship trophy was started and has become a new tradition (we still get candy at the quarters.)
