A little over 9 hours until kickoff! People will start showing up around 3. The game is usually anticlimactic, but the commercials and hanging with friends are fun. Nice outside right now but they say snow is coming in the next few days. I don’t think we’ll see any roll in today.
Lori is making her famous cheesecake now. Yesterday she finished making her enchilada’s, tortillas soup, homemade ice cream, (butter brickle, and yes, she makes the butter brickle from scratch!) chocolate cupcakes, and other assorted apps and stuff.
Davy took his two youngest skiing for a few hours and then stopped at a father daughter Valentines event on the way home. Lori made the kids hot dogs and mac and cheese, while Davy and I had tortilla soup. Abby and their 15-year-old, Violet, are in Denver at a dance competition but will be home today. Wes and River played with Harley and hung out for an hour or so. Harley is all bark when people show up at the front door but then is as sweet as any dog you’ve ever met.
I need to run up to Hovey to pick a couple dozen cookies Molly made for the game. She made my favorites, coconut, pecan and oatmeal and one that’s like a snickerdoodle and molasses cookie. I’ll need have some serious self-control today!
Hope the Eagles win. No one I know, except Mark, who went to the game, likes the Chiefs. He’s from Kansas City though, so that’s understandable. Ty is off today and coming down this morning. He managed to get in a few hours on the mountain yesterday as he worked in the morning and then was off until 3, as he worked an art show at the restaurant last night.
That’s it, time to get moving. We’ll have about 20 friends here in a little under 7 hours. I think this is our 4th Super Bowl party in a row. Lori does too good of a job, so the party is always at our place!
Here’s Wes, his dad forgot his belt so River tied a ribbon around his pants and he got his face painted at the Valentines Day party. He’s a Minecraft dinosaur! He’s too funny and said to Lori when she commented on it, “how do you know about Minecraft”! Check out his Def Leppard t-shirt!
River with Harley, she’s in 5th grade. Lori loves having little kids around. It’s like we’re now the old people in the neighborhood. When our kids were young, it was Roger and Karen, Mrs. Rossi and the O’Connell’s on our street, too funny. Take care, be well, stay safe and God Bless.
