Apparently, since we now live in Arizona, we are officially Cardinals fans.
So, in honor of our new team, we went all out and had a Superbowl party. We had three other families over to watch the game at our house. We grilled some hot dogs and everyone else pitched in with the chips, dips, salsa, desserts, etc. We even had Superbowl plates, napkins, and tablecloths. It was great...except for the fact that our team lost :(
It's a toss up, though, to know who had more fun--the adults, or the kids. Our friends have a jumping house (or whatever those things are called) that they brought over for the kids to play on--needless to say it was a hit. Ana Elisa was a bit scared at first, (especially since the front of it has a huge Winnie the Pooh head looking down at you as you climb in) but after about 15 minutes, she finally got brave and climbed in.
After that, it was almost impossible to get her out. Other than taking a break to eat and play with a few of her toys and mini-swing set, Ana Elisa spent almost the entire Superbowl bouncing around in that thing. She fell asleep sometime during the 4th quarter (you know, around the time that the screaming and excitement of the game got pretty intense), and she slept through the whole thing. I think we need to get ourselves one of those bounce things, maybe she'd sleep through the night more often!! :P
I think we can all agree that our Superbowl Sunday this year beats last year's. We had just moved to Phoenix a month before and had finished our corporate housing time limit. We hadn't found a house (partly because we still hadn't sold our house in Salt Lake) and there were no hotels available because the Superbowl was being held here in Phoenix. We had no family or friends here, so staying with someone wasn't an option, either. We were lucky enough to have a cousin let us borrow her empty house for the month (thank you again, Jamie!!!). We moved in on Saturday with our rented futon and refrigerator and were camping out with no internet and no TV. While the Superbowl was going on, we took advantage of the fact that there was no traffic out and we drove around neighborhoods looking for a house. We've come a long way since last February!!
