We had our first annual Super Bowl party this year and I don't think we could have picked a better game to start this tradition. All season I have been rooting for the New York Giants. I know the Patriots have had a magical season but my heart has been with the Giants. I think Eli Manning is not only a great quarterback but just a great guy off the field as well. He is the biggest reason I was rooting for the Giants. And let me tell you, I was in the minority at the party. Out of 25 people there was only 6 of us Giants fan. The biggest reason every one wanted to see the Patriots win was to watch history in the making. A team has not gone undefeated since the Miami Dolphins in 1972.
My dad was feeling well enough to come to the party which just made the evening even better. I did take a lot of heat from him because I was rooting for the Giants. There for a minute (and only a minute..LOL) it looked like the Giants were going to lose and boy did my dad take the opportunity to put his little digs in...LOL! All I could tell him was that it wasn't over and 2 minutes in a football game is a long time. Sure enough Eli and the Giants didn't give up and you should have seen my dad's face when Manning was able to break away from about four Patriots trying to bring him down. I was jumping up and down and screaming at this miracle pass that Manning was able to throw and my dad had to concede that it was one of the best moments in Super Bowl history.
It was a fun day. My team won, the food was good, the company even better...here's to next year's party!!

You're so festive! We just watched it with our little family, but we did a lot of cheering for the Giants! I'm so glad your dad was able to be there with you!!
LOL! We look for any reason to have a party! It was so wonderful to have my dad there. He is doing so good now. The power of prayer is amazing!
Kris your Super Bowl party looked like a lot of fun. I was torn on really who to cheer for because on one hand I wanted to see the Patriots win but only because I wanted to see them make history. And on the other hand I would have liked the Giants to win so that people would take notice of another great player with the last name Manning. :) Since neither the Bears or the Packers were in the game I was fine with whoever won really. LOL Glad your Dad was able to join in on the fun of your Super Bowl party too. :)
