It was Supah!

Superbowl Sunday + sunshine and smiles

Poor Danika had trouble looking toward me with the sun shining so bright. Garrett got some good squinting going. Genevieve angled her face so the sun didn't shine directly at her. It was a pleasant trip to Target for supplies.

The woodwright and his apprentice

Charles is more of a cobbler than a woodwright here. He is oiling his new boots for Job Corp. Garrett was interested in what he was doing briefly but was more excited to sit on the steps. Since we had company we had the door to the family room open and the little guy was free to wander up and down the steps at will. He mostly was fascinated by just sittin'.

The spread

I couldn't find my small crockpot to keep the cheese dip warm. But apart from that little problem, we had a nice buffet spread out.

The maestro

Harlan is pretty much a master of providing an excellent atmosphere to watch the game. He and Hayden spent a few hours down in the family room rearranging furniture for the best viewing for the most number of people. We could seat 11 adults comfortably and any number of kids tucked in here and there.

Harlan has researched and put together an amazing room for our viewing pleasure. Most recently he repainted the wall that we project on. It is now a grey color. It makes all colors so much richer looking. The dark colors are especially noticeably darker. You can barely make out the outline of Garrett's head in the very bottom of the above picture. But you can see what a nice bright and vivid picture we got to watch.

The kids don't care about the game

all they want is the soda pop

Chips, crackers, cheese, carrots, fruit and POP. A kids' kind of buffet. They skipped the the salads, wings, meatballs, and the vast array of other veggies. But they did each get a whole can of pop.

Genevieve and Danika, both, have been asking what they can do to help prepare meals or get ready for mealtime. G'vieve has lived in this apron for the past couple of days. So sweet girls!

She and Garrett shared a seat at the start of the game.

Vinny was in the house!

Little Vinny Z was a bit shy in the beginning. It didn't take too long for him to warm up to Danika. He sat and put his head on her shoulder and held her hand. He's a charmer!

And a ham!

Courtney and her Friends

I made Courtney pose with her friends near the wall hanging that their mother gave me many years ago. The nicest photos turned out blurry but I'm posting them anyway. Katelin and Courts in the first picture. And Molly and Courtney in the second.

The saying on this quilt has never been truer than this past year.

Thanks friends for sharing your day with us.

Only 3 weeks until DAYTONA!!!
