Super Weekend!

So not only was the Superbowl this weekend, but there was also Super Saturday and a super fun 7-year-old birthday party! Starting on Friday night -- actually, let me jump to Friday afternoon. My sister Annie come down for my niece's birthday party, but before the party, Annie, my mom, and I went to the movies and saw 27 Dresses - GREAT MOVIE. We laughed out loud numerous times. A definite see. :)

So, after the movie, we met my other sister Katie and her friend Anabel and six little girls at Color Me Mine where we got to paint various pieces and make them our own. When we get them back, I'll post a picture of what I created for my husband and I. After Color Me Mine, we went over to a pizza place and had slices of pizza and soda. Next was the slumber party! We all went over to my mom's house to sleepover. Six little girls high on sugar -- most stayed up until well past midnight, playing games, scrapbooking, singing karaoke, and watching Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Crazy girls. Let me add -- they were up very early the next morning.

So, Super Saturday is a fun way to say that there are UFC fights the night before the Superbowl. That evening was interesting. We went to my husband's brother's house, but the cable he has wouldn't allow us to order the fights. So, the guys played poker and the girls conversed and played with the babies. When we got home, we ended up ordering the fights at our house and my husband watched them while I slept. :)

Finally - Superbowl Sunday! What a game! Yay for the Giants winning! We stayed at home for the first half and then went over to my parents' house for the second. My husband taught me how to throw a football during halftime. I'm not very good. :) My mom and I made homemade pizza for dinner and it was awesome! Overall, it was a super weekend!
