The Saints vs. Colts Super Bowl wasn’t exactly the match up this family was hoping for, but we had our annual party anyway. I say this is the 2nd annual party, but really we are on year 4. Our first party was the year the Seahawks were in it, then the following year Spencer was happy celebrate the Bears being in the big game – both of us came out losers. We took a year off when we lived in our Issaquah apartment, and then started again last year when the Steelers beat the Cardinals.
We tend to go all out when it comes to entertaining, but this year I was sick the week leading up to the game. Somehow we managed to have a variety of posters for the different betting games, color coordinated cupcakes, and the biggest hit – Saylen’s special “jersey.” Spencer and I decided that we would make a tradition out of Saylen having an out fit for game day decorated for the team of choice. He is 1-0 with his first pick of the Saints. After much debate, we decided the number on the back would be for the year the game took place (we talked about his age or the Super Bowl number).
Game day was a success. The right team won, the weather turned out to be pretty decent (thanks to El Nino), and Spencer was the big winner at poker – sorry Ben! Thanks to everyone that joined us for another great day of football, see you next year.
