Superbowl Fun!

Well as planned we had a few friends over this past weekend to watch the Superbowl on Sunday. Now how does one get ready for a superbowl party you ask? Well by raking leaves of course! Yes we borrowed a rake from some friends and spent the first three or so hours of our Sunday raking the leaves up in our back yard and putting them into about 25+ bags. Here are some pictures of our work!

Even A.J. pitched in to help clean up some sticks in the yard...no telling where they ended up!

Shortly after that was finished everyone came over to have some Superbowl fun. We got some chips and salsa from Chili's and James made his families ham, cheese, & pineapple snacks and then everyone else brought a dish to make quite a nice spread...needless to say we all ate WAY to much that night, right Melissa?

Our new cooler that we got for the party!

Everyone pitched in to make some fabulous snacks!

It was definitely a nail biting finish to the game where the Giants won...yes friends the Giants and the Patriots were the ones who were playing...and the Patriots were wearing blue while the Giants were wearing white...glad we cleared that one up finally! Anyways wanted to post a few pictures of us all hanging out...can anyone guess who gets the award for most spirited? I know that James and I had a great time with our first "party" in our new home and hope to make the Superbowl get together an annual tradition!

Right on Jones, way to be ready for the party!

Melissa and Beth...hanging out on the couch "watching" the game!

The Brown gang at the (soon to be) Brown's house...can anyone guess who is the most innocent out of this group?!?!

The girls...ready for bed after a long night of eating, eating, and more eating!

OK well last but DEFINITELY not least I have to give some props out to Brian and Matt for coming over tonight while Tara and I were at class and helping James to hang our new light that we got for the dining room...thanks so much guys, it looks great!
