Super Bowl Bound

Yeah, don't we wish we all were going to the big game....Unfortunately, our tickets were not drawn in the lottery to get Super Bowl tickets, so guess we'll just have to party in front of the TV! (Sophie announced that the Super Bowl Party would be "hosted at their house"....Hmmmm. Might want to check with the parents!)

Exciting game day for all.  Carrie & Spencer and Curt & Amie went to the game....beautiful weather and relaxing (for a change) game.  The fans sitting around them apparently noted  the behavior changes in the boys this week, having brought the girls to the game!

Tasha watched Sophie and Grayson and Carli took care of Corbin and Spencer during the game, then brought them back to our house for a chili dinner when their parents got home.  Carli (why?) let Gabi wear her wedding ring to the park that afternoon,  and of course, it was lost.  Happily, it was found later that evening with the help of a metal detector.
The rest of the weekend was busy. I met with my support group on Friday morning for coffee, then it was off to help Gramma find a new bra.  (Meredith asked if she got a leopard print one!)  When Kohl's didn't have what she wanted, we were off to Macy's. Luckily, a nice young woman helped with her selection.  Friday afternoon, I went with Carrie for a manicure, then to shop for her dress for the upcoming Gala this weekend. Saturday was a day of driving to and fro...taking/picking Gramma up from her hair appointment, then to Corbin's first basketball game.  THAT was worth the drive!  Those kids were so cute and Corbin definitely loves basketball!

 

 After the game, Russ and Dan Haythorn (friends of the family when the kids were growing up) visited with us.  Dan's son, Max, is on the same basketball team as Corbin (yes, that's the two of them sitting together on the bench).  Crazy, small world!
After the game, we went to watch Sophie's soccer game, then on to see a movie "The Nut Job" with the Frosts.  During the movie, I got a call from Anne Masterson wanting to know why Brad and I hadn't come to Jeff's 60th birthday party.  Well that would be because I thought it started at 5:00 instead of 2:00.  Always nice to make a late entrance.....the party was nice, though.
From Ogallala, I got a picture this week!  Woohoo!!!Thanks, Mer!  Apparently, it was pajama day at school on Friday, so Emma wore her Christmas pj's that we sent her.  Brad and I remarked at how much she looks like Meredith....

 Miscellaneous weekend pictures....

 

 Coming next week: Father/daughter dance, The Gala, Rory's school dance (Sadie Hawkins-a 9th grade girl asked him to go)...Stay tuned and have a great week!
