GO CARDS!

Okay. It would have been really nice to see them take it all. Giving up a record 100 yard interception return wasn't helping their cause, and a last minute Steeler touchdown seemed to seal the deal. The first half wasn't that entertaining to watch, but our Cardinals made it a great game in the 4th quarter. We had a few friends over that have ties to Arizona to help us share in the glory of the first Superbowl for the Cards since 1947. The first one ever for the Arizona franchise. It was sad when they lost it with about 30 seconds left to go, but it was definitely fun to cheer them on the entire time. The kids even got really into it and could be caught yelling "Go Cards!" in the other room. Maybe they were just reading each others' faces...

Here's Sarah celebrating by the food. Papa asked her to show off her beautiful Cardinal face.

Alex did really well letting me paint his face. I was completely done in about 3 minutes.


Lucas, on the other hand... He just would not sit still. It took me about 10 minutes to finish his..

What's that black stuff??

Oh... Go Cards!



Audrey was so interested in the face paints. She wouldn't stay off the table while I was painting the Lucas's face...

and she just had to see what the green one tasted like!

After much squirming, and even more touching her face, we finally got hers done. It seriously was only about 15 seconds of actual painting. The rest was grabbing her hands and trying to turn her face back to me. She thought it was a game. But she turned out cute! Sarah loved the heart.
If the kids hadn't had so many Rice Krispy treats, soda, chips and other junk food last night, we may have gotten them all to sit down together for a few seconds to take a picture of all the littlest football fans. But they were way too wound up. Plus, playing with friends is always way more fun than taking pictures! Their new friends Zack and Kenlee were there sharing in the fun. Kenlee really liked Sandy, and Zack thought it was the coolest thing to chase around the other kids with a little roaring alligator puppet on his hand. The other kids agreed. It was a very fun night.
