We had our annual Super Bowl Party on Sunday February 4th. We had a great time! It amazes me that we were able to accomodate approx. 16 adults and 10 kids. The game had the Indianapolis Colts vs New Orleans Saints. The Saints won 31-17. Apparently it was an upset but I wouldn't really know much about that kind of stuff. :-P
Now, in order to help with planning for next year, I want to make a few notes. We ordered a tray of wings and a tray of chicken fingers and a big order of french fries from The Office. The chicken fingers were all gone. We definitely should order more next year. We made this new chili recipe (from the Neelys) and it was super spicy. If you like spicy, you'll really like this chili. We also served 2 trays of pineapple wrapped in bacon and 2 trays of pigs in a blanket. There was also our usual crudite platter, cheese and crackers, guac/salsa and chips. For dessert, I ordered 10 football cookies and 10 football mini cakes from Natales and we just had an extra package of chocolate chip cookies. We definitely need to order more football mini cakes in 2010...everyone loved them and we could've used more.
It was just a great time hanging out with friends and family. We really enjoy having the opportunity to open our home and spend time with these special people. It's nice to see new little babies and also see how much all the kids have grown. Our youngest guest was little Jude Vandenberg at 6 weeks old. It takes a lot to get ready and set everything up to accomodate that many people in our home but its well worth it.
Looking forward to 2011!!!
