It's a Win!

It was an awesome game, though a little too close for comfort in the second half, if you ask me!  We had 2 families from church over to our house for the game and had a great time hanging out with them.

The girls were SO excited for the Super Bowl.  Are they interested in football?  Not even a little bit.  They were excited for food, friends, decorations and cute clothes.  : )

On Saturday, Aaron and the girls made a super sized snowman.  (Her name is Snowbell!?)  Warmer temps caused Snowbell to shed a few pounds.  She won't last for long, so we decided to have some Super Bowl fun with her!

The balloons were the favorite decoration of the night.  I love this pic!

All in all, it was a great night!!

New Glasses

Patton kid #2 needs glasses . . . no shocker there! 

We noticed the problem when she was leaning forward to read her piano music.  Thankfully, here eyes really aren't bad.  These are just reading glasses (or "piano glasses" as the case may be.)  She is very excited to have them (Though that will certainly wear off shortly.)  You can't tell from this picture, but they are brown in the front and teal blue on the inside . . . so they match her bedroom and she thinks that is pretty awesome!

Go Pack!

Admittedly, I watch very little football.  I really do enjoy watching it, but if there isn't a team playing that I care about, I'd rather be doing other things.  I'll root for the Rams if they're playing . . . they're Aaron's favorite team and our home team.  But let's face it, I'm from Wisconsin.  If the Packers are playing, I want them to win!

We went to my parents' house to watch the NFC Championship Game.  I have a Packers shirt, but none of my girls have anything.  Julie wore a green sweatsuit with a yellow t-shirt over it.  Meg wore black pants with a yellow sweatshirt and a green t-shirt over it.  Ali wore a green long-sleeved t-shirt of mine (a tad bit big.)  Emma was unwilling to participate.  Aaron tried to convince her to wear navy and orange.  I suppose I should be glad that she didn't do that.

I decided that all of my Packers fan family has let us down and failed to provide my children with appropriate paraphernalia.  How dare they!?  : )  I had to take matters into my own hands for the Super Bowl.

Aren't they cute??  Home made by mom using freezer paper and shirt paint.

Julie looks a little drugged here : )

This is what I got when I asked for a "football pose."  Actually, that's not entirely true.  The first thing I got was four girls looking at me with faces that were cleary saying, "You're kidding, right?"  Once they realized that I wasn't kidding, this is what I got. 

This is what I got with a little coaxing from Dad.  I love this picture!  Julie looks like she's going to kill someone!  Meg embraced it as well.  Ali isn't so sure about this.  Emma is reluctantly obeying her Dad. : )

Hoping for a win tomorrow!!
