To get the weekend started off right, I hosted my annual "Girls Valentine Game Night" in my home. (You can see last years HERE, for fun if you have some free time)! I love to host parties. I really think it's a lot of fun & I enjoy nothing more than bringing all my close friends together to bond. I love mingling with everyone & introducing people to new friends. We just have fun together.
We had such a great turn out considering we were literally put through a blizzard the week prior, and also another inch of snow the night before. There were several girls that lived too far or didn't want to risk the drive, which I TOTALLY understood. But, there were several that were also closer who were DYING to get out of their homes after being stranded for days upon end.
We started off the evening with lots of chatting & wine.
Let the eating begin. YES- I exploded off my good eating plan this weekend. We had some amazing food that I just simply couldn't resist.
We enjoyed hanging out and taking some pictures & then started game time. We played catch phrase which was hilarious. We were all super loud & screaming. It got heated & I just loved every moment of it. I am sure you can tell by my face in one of the pictures below.
Sunday was the SUPERBOWL! We all met up at my sister in law Tiffany's sisters house to eat & watch the game. We all just had a blast! We had all the fireplaces going inside & outside along with lots of cooking & mingling. The guys grilled out for everyone & us girls worked inside on sides/dips. It was so cozy since there is still snow on the ground everywhere.
We were so excited to see the Packers take the win! And by the way, wasn't 1/2 time with Black Eyed Peas amazing? I just love them & how they perform.
Today Avery was off to MDO- the first one in awhile since we have been snowed in. Thought I would share this precious picture. We were running so late today, we literally had just rolled out of bed so she was still half asleep; so was I...
Happy Monday!
I've been reading your blog for about a year now, but have never commented. Too shy I guess :) But, I was so excited to see that you folks down South were cheering for the Packers. As you know Razorback fans know, football is an obsession... and this Wisconsin girl likes to hear about Packer fans all around the world. Check out my 2 year old in green and gold cheering her team on at www.familysimek.blogspot.com :)
