Anyone excited, could care less or has no idea what all the pageantry is about? Who is your pick? Anyone going to Houston or the game? Favorite recipes to make? Team pride rituals? Anyone just keeping their heads down until all the "sportsing" is over and we can all quit loosing our minds over a regulated 1 hour event?
I was born and raised in Georgia so, the Falcons are my pick. My parents/family are transplants from MA so, this makes us a divided family. My favorite game watching nom-noms are homemade hummus, dill pickle chips and chocolate cupcakes. I would be all over some craft beer if the tiny human in my uterus was able to process alcohol like the champ I am.

Also, one of the best things about football season ending is that we are that much closer to baseball (who doesn't like baseball?!?!) and therefore closer to our babies being here!

I I will be watching. I don't really care for either teams but will probably root for the Falcons because I am tired of seeing the Patriots in the Super Bowl again.
I will try to limit the game day snacks this year, I tend to go over board.
My MIL is doing a combo Super Bowl/Going Away Party for my BIL and SIL who are moving out of the area next week. She makes banging buffalo chicken dip that I look forward to gorging on (I'll deal with the heartburn later, haha). I'm excited because it'll mean that all of the cousins will be together (we have 4 that are all within 17 months of each other), since DS is usually the odd one out because we live the farthest away. DH will miss it because he's flying out for work that morning, but he's going to LA so I don't feel bad for him one bit, haha.
We'll be having our family party for my daughters 2nd Birthday the day of the game this year.
Big Cowboys fan, so this year is a little bittersweet, but I think I'd like to see the Falcons win because I'm tired of hearing about the Patriots (and I want more snarky comments from Giselle, ha!) We will see if I make it though the whole thing without falling asleep this year though...
Anyone have a favorite halftime show from the past? Mine (from the ones I can remember, so the last few years) has to be Bruno Mars... love his music and I think he's amazingly talented.
I hate the Patriots. I hate Tom Brady. I hate Gisele Bundchen.
@schef070911 Thank you for posting that recipe. I'm totally going to make that this weekend! I also LOVED the Bruno Mars SBHS. He had the best energy. I'm really on the fence about Lady Gaga this year. She will have some great cameos performers for sure.
I probably won't make it to the end of the game, but am hoping for a few entertaining commercials. In reality I will probably be trying to keep DS from eating a ton of junk right before bed and explaining to him why we are watching football instead of PJ Masks.
